their not prone, its all about how they are raised. alot of smaller breed dogs are babied and spoiled which leads to dominant, jealous, protective behavior. small breeds tend to get away w/ alot things so it leads to them training the owners.

Aren’t yorkies prone to biting children? I heard this before. Most people wouldn’t recommend the dog if you have kids.

I complelety agree with Steven and BeTheir Voice. I have a Yorkie and he has never even mouthed anybody, let alone a child. Good puppy training and socialisation is the key to ensure that biting doesn’t happen.

each dog has a different personality, but generally yorkies are loveable My beagle x maltese is a hard to train dog breed but he’s doing tricks at 7 weeks old

the way a dog acts is from the way you brought it up… so if any dog doesn’t get the stimulation and discipline they need, it can be at risk

Yes, it is very possible. We did not get our yorkie until he was 1.5 years old and he is extremely smart . He is allowed on the sofa/bed but has also been trained not to get on the bed/sofa when I say. They are so easy to train…I have heard that they can learn up to 6 commands in a day. He had NO training when we first got him and he is a great joy. Be consistent and reward with treats…info from Ceasar Millan’s website on being the pack leader helped a lot. Good luck.

I just acquired 2 yorkie sisters. They’re both 2 years old and never been properly trained by the previous owner. They’re allowed to sit on the sofa, sleep on human bed and eat randomly. Is it possible to structure them?

It is more that breeders don’t recommend yorkies for small children due to their small size. Children can accidently hurt the puppies without trying to.
