Ya hear about the Pit Bulls, Rotwielers (sp), and standard Poodles but I am convinced that the meanest dogs are Yorkies. Yorkie owners understand this, others may not. In fact the reason they are bred so small is so they won't kill live stock. I have three of 'em ranging from just under 2 pounds to five pounds and they are a pack of wolves in their minds. They attack cats, people, you name it. What was the final clincher? My poor Bassett Hound, the sweetest girl who ever walked on large paws, was howling in pain and when I got up to check I found my oldest Yorkie latched to her nose with claws and fangs and refusing to let go. My 70 pound Bassett was defeated by a five pound dog! That is the Shrew of the dog world I tell you...Yorkies....should be renamed Dwarf Bavarian Hell Hounds.

My main Yorkie not only beats up the Bassett but she dances afterward. She is very smart and recognizes words. She demands that water in her bowl be at a certain level, crying until I follow her command. When I take her to town and she has to sit in the car, very rare I must say, she will get mad a poop in my seat then go to the passenger seat and sit nicely. She will pick up toys and hit me with them, I have to put my cards in metal jackets because of she gets them she either eats them or walks around and dumps them on the ground....vicious! Right now she is blocking my wife from going to the bathroom!

I work on horses only but occasionally get suckered into small animal side of one of the clinics I visit to help with a dog. I go day in and day out with nary a scratch from the 1/2 ton critters but get mauled every time I assist with the lil cutie pooches! EVIL BEASTIES!

My wife and I have a dog which was part "taco bell dog" and part jack russell terrier. We mated it with a pure bred yorkie. Now we have 3 little 2 month old pups running around the house that are *** cute lookin. One looks like a terrier, one looks like a yorkie, and one looks like its right in between. I feel like a mad scientist!

MagicSanta - You're only telling us this as you're trying to pursuade people not to come and visit you, sleep on your couch and decide to perhaps overstay our welcome. Am I right?
Loved your story and overall I'm glad I don't have those lil hounds of hell at my place. |

Barney, the Scottish Terrier in the White House, is also (at least once in a while) pretty vicious.
He bit some White House reporter the other day: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AAKfEoTcMaY But maybe he deserved it, who knows.

Yorkies are a fighting breed. They use to put 'em up against rats, my dogs are very rodent aggressive.

Found this and it concurred with what y'all are saying:
Pronunciation Yorkshire Terrier Description The ultra long, fine, silky coat parts along the spine and falls straight down on either side. It is steal blue on the body and tail, and tan elsewhere. Puppies are usually black & tan. The tail is usually docked to half its length. If the dogs are not for showing, the owners usually go for the shaggy look. The Yorkie has a flat head, medium-sized length muzzle, a black nose, and regular teeth. The eyes are extremely vivacious and the ears are v-shaped, erect or semi-erect. The tail is docked to medium-length and is carried level with its back. Its limbs are straight with round feet and black nails. The hair on the head is so abundant that it is almost always necessary to gather it in a band to keep from going into the dog's food bowl and to give the animal maximum visibility. Some owners choose to trim the hair on top of the head. Temperament The Yorkshire Terrier seems oblivious of its small size. It is ever eager for adventure. This little dog is highly energetic, brave, loyal and clever. Affectionate with its master, but if humans are not this dog's pack leader, it can become suspicious of strangers and aggressive to strange dogs and small animals. It can also become yappy, as the dog does his best to tell you what HE wants YOU to do. It has true terrier heritage which needs someone who understand how to be it's leader. They are recommended for older, considerate children, simply because they are so small, most people allow them to get away with behaviors no dog should display. This changes the dogs temperament, as the dog starts to take over the house. They will become demanding and dependant and need a lot of human attention as they develop jealous behaviors and become snappish if surprised, frightened or over-teased. They can also become over-protective, and become neurotic. Yorkies are easy to train, although they can sometimes be stubborn if owners do not give the dog proper boundaries. They can be difficult to housebreak. The Yorkie is an excellent watchdog. When owners display pack leadership to the Yorkshire Terrier, they are very sweet and loving and can be trusted with children. The problems only arise when owners, because of the dogs cute little size, allow them to take over the house. The human will not even realize it, however know, if you have any of the negative behaviors listed above, it's time to look into your pack leader skills. These are truly sweet little dogs who need owners who understand how to give them gentle leadership. If you own a Yorkie who does not display any of the negative behaviors, high five for being a good pack leader! Height, Weight Height: 6-7 inches (15-17½cm.) Weight: 7 pounds (3.2kg.) Health Problems Some Yorkies are prone to bronchitis and early tooth decay, poor tolerance of anaesthetic, and delicate digestion. Exotic treats should be avoided. They sometimes suffer paralysis in the hindquarters caused by herniated disks and other problems of the spine. Falls or knocks can cause fractures of fragile bones. Abnormal skull formations in Yorkies measuring less then 8 inches (20cm). !@#$%es often have trouble delivering. The very tiny "teacup" Yorkies often have serious health and behavioral problems. Be sure to feed Yorkies dry food (canned food can be added) to help keep their teeth clean and strong. They should get their teeth cleaned at the Vet to keep them from falling out and creating infection. Living Conditions The Yorkie is a good dog for apartment life. They are very active indoors and will do okay without a yard. The Yorkie is sensitive to the cold and prefers warm climates. Exercise These are active little dogs, who need a daily walk. Play will take care of a lot of their exercise needs, however, as with all breeds, it will not fulfill their primal instinct to walk. Dogs who do not get to go on daily walks are more likely to display behavior problems. They will also enjoy a good romp in a safe open area off lead, such as a large fenced in yard. Life Expectancy About 12-15 years Grooming Regular grooming is needed. A clipped coat needs daily to weekly combing and brushing. Topknot is usually tied back with ribbon. Full show coats need hours of grooming. They should have their teeth cleaned regularly. This breed sheds little to no hair. Origin The breed is only 100 years old or so, but its origins are not entirely certain - probably because the working men of north England, who developed the Yorkshire Terrier for catching the terrible rats that infested the mine shafts and as a hunting dog that could penetrate into badger and fox burrows, avoided divulging the secret of their success to those who might have cashed in on a lucrative side line. However, it seems likely that Scotsmen seeking work in the woolen mills of Yorkshire brought with them various types of terrier, including the Skye and the now extinct Clydesdale. These were then crossed with local types, such as the long- haired Leeds Terrier. The Maltese, Black & Tan Manchester, and Dandie Dinmont Terriers may also have contributed blood lines. At first, the Yorkie was a much bigger animal than the one we see today, but by selectively breeding the smallest individuals, the dog was gradually miniaturized over the years. They were made into a fashion dog. Women carried these little dogs in their bags and under their arms. The first Yorkshire, with the characteristics demanded by its standard today, appeared in a dog show in 1870. In 1984 a piebald Yorkie was born as a result of a genetic recessive gene occurrence from 2 Yorkshire Terriers. Today the piebald dogs are considered a different breed; which is named the Biewer or Biewer Yorkie. Group Terrier, AKC Toy Recognition CKC, FCI, AKC, UKC, KCGB, CKC, ANKC, NKC, NZKC, APRI, ACR
