Please remember this rating system is a comparision between MY Yorkies and MY poodles. I don't mean to offend anyone whose Yorkie or Poodle is not like I indicated here. I would have to say in my experience that Yorkies are the better behaved and toy poodles are more affectionate and bond tightly. They do tend to be clingy and needy while the yorkie is more independant. Thanks for reading my article.

Post a CommentIf your concern is inside barking. I would definately say that yorkies are more prone to be noisy!! Yes any dog can be trained if you have the time and patience! The toy poodle is much easier too train as they are less stubborn and live to please and entertain!! Good luck They are both great breeds! Thanks for commenting on my article
I loved the article and thanks for taking your time to tell us the basics :)
I still can not decide which one to have :(. My main problem is barking especially when left alone.
I now have a cat only because is not barking LOL and my children want a pet so badly. I am a dog lover and am really dieing to have one BUT which one?
Is there a way to train the dog not to bark so much? Which one (the yorke or the poodle ) is easier to train?
