My yorkie can't bark - YorkieTalk.com Forums

I was wondering why my yorkie can't bark? She is 7 yrs old. Can anyone tell me why?

Mya's_Mom · 06-24-2005, 08:11 PM

Could she bark before? If so I would have her checked out by a vet to make sure that she does not have a growth in her throat or something. Is it possible that she could of had an injury to her throat when you were not around?

I just adopted her and i noticed today when someone ring the door bell she tried to bark. It sounds like she wants to so bad but she can't get it out. its like a whisper.

Could she have been "debarked"?

Maggie does her fair share of barking. Now we are training her to at least whisper.

Muffin liked the sound of her bark quite well.

Now, Kacee, I've just heard her bark a few times so far and that is always when she is playing. She doesn't really "look" out the doors yet, but I'm certain she will.

I just can't imagine a silent yorkie. It doesn't fit their personality.

Was she a rescue?....if so many puppymills debark their dogs and this could be why!!...she probably was debarked if she was attempting to bark but IT couldn't come out...just keep giving lots of love

I just found out today that the other owner debarked her i am so mad why the hell would someone do that to a sweet dog. Is it legal to do that if not im going do something because its not right its animal abuse.

Oh I am soo sorry! That is a crime! They don't bark that much, do they? At least mine doesn't! I'll bet you are soo mad! How would they like it if someone clipped their vocal cords? Why do vets do this anyway? Poor little thing! Just love him more and try to make up for it. That is about all you can do now!

Do they not think that their house could catch on fire or something bad happen when their not home she couldn't bark to save her life or theirs. It really makes me really mad and hurts me because she is a very sweet dog. People are so cruel and selfish!
