Yorkies love to be carried around and may lean against you while you snuggle them close. This is just a sign that they trust you enough to lean on you and feel protected in your presence.
Your pup may be telling you that they trust you with their toys and they are willing to share. By bringing it over to you, your Yorkie is communicating that they like to spend time with you and are ready for you to throw the ball now! Animals use their eyes to communicate all kinds of things. Oxytocin is a hormone associated with social bonding.
A study was carried out looking at the relationship between oxytocin levels and eye contact between dogs and their owners. Not only this but dogs with higher levels of oxytocin gaze into the eyes of their owners more , which in turn raises oxytocin levels for the owner, creating a kind of positive feedback loop.
Strangely enough, this effect is actually fairly unique to dogs and humans. Even wolves that have been raised by people rarely make eye contact with their owners and an increase in oxytocin level was not observed in the study. One trait which is common in Yorkies is that they tend to stare at their owners. Like, a lot! So maybe take some time to share the love with your Yorkie today! Animal Pro Tip: Do not try this with cats because they actually function in the opposite way.
A long stare may be mistaken as a challenge or territory threat. All canines do this as a way to meet other dogs and get to know a new stranger by smell.
Their sense of smell is a major part of communication for this species, and they can detect more than you would believe with their snouts! These sensory cells specifically detect pheromones. This allows dogs to tell how healthy an animal is, the gender of the animal, their age, and even the way that animal feels happy, sad, playful.
Therefore — you should not take this as a sign that your Yorkie is trying to be gross or invasive. They can yap, they sometimes have an attitude, and they totally think they are smarter than we are and they might be. According to theothebrave we are having a helluva time down here in Mexico.
Blame it on small dog lovers like Jessica Simpson and Paris Hilton, but everyone knows that Yorkies belong in a matching purse — at least some of the time. How else are you going to carry your pup around and show it off to all your friends?
Small dogs must have decided this in their secret small-dog society, but your Yorkie is going to expect to be carried. Especially up the stairs in your house. What is it about adorably silky puppy hair that makes you want to brush it and put a bow in it? He has a hard life…… — too short too look out the rental car windows — not allowed to eat chicken, though he loves it — is forced a bath about every 10 days and the only part he enjoys is the blow dry — has to deal with the killer mail man 6 days a week — little people adore him and always want to pick him up and love him so emasculating — attempts to trick his owners in to giving him a treat without actually going potty… at least once a day rarely succeeds.
