Tinkie’s Personality and Needs
This Yorkshire Terrier has a big heart but requires a specific environment to thrive. Here’s what you need to know about her temperament and care needs:
  • Loves Affection: Tinkie craves snuggling and gentle attention, often cozying up behind you or tapping you for more love.
  • Shy and Anxious: She’s sensitive to loud noises or raised voices, preferring a calm, quiet home where she can feel safe.
  • Selective Socializer: Tinkie is a bit of a loner and interacts with other dogs on her terms, usually playing around 5 p.m. but showing her teeth if uninterested.
  • Food Preferences: She likes to eat alone and doesn’t share her food with other dogs.
  • Obedient but Sensitive: Tinkie listens well but can get anxious if spoken to loudly, requiring a gentle approach.
Who Tinkie Will Thrive With Tinkie is best suited for a single owner who can provide a peaceful, nurturing home. Her shy and anxious nature means she needs someone patient and understanding to help her feel secure. Here’s how she gets along with others:
  • Children: Tinkie is not a fan of kids and would do best in a child-free home, as she may feel overwhelmed by their energy.
  • Dogs: She’s okay with other dogs but is selective, choosing when to play and occasionally showing her teeth to set boundaries. She’s accepted her current owner’s dogs but prefers to interact on her terms.
  • Cats: Tinkie has adapted to her owner’s cat but may not readily accept other cats. With training, she could potentially adjust, but a cat-free home is ideal.
