Possibly a Yorkie mix. Yorkies are yappy/noisy and crave attention, so probably all that with separation anxiety when home alone.Edit: looks like a slightly bigger version to a Yorkshire Terrier thing.
Can’t you bore them into submission?
I felt like a real prat when walking out to take like four steps back. Wait until he sits and then go again each time he starts pulling but it worked.
When a dog goes yap yap yap all day and the owners cant be bothered taking for a walk, that's not exactly caring for a dog! Is it?
All my dogs, bar one, has loved being in their cage. Put a blanket over it and it becomes a place of safety. They were use to being in a cage in the back of the car and at dog shows. My current Cocker Spaniel loves the boot of the car, the smaller the better, absolutely loved the Scirocco and you don't get many boots smaller than that.He tells people it likes the cage, I have never seen an animal that loves being caged up.

Do you own a dog?They love being locked up and enjoy it so much they bark all the time?
I've kept dogs for over 50 years, I've had Cocker Spaniels, Field Spaniels, Irish Setters and a Labrador. All my dogs have been pets first, show dogs second. All were introduced to cages at a very early age, they have been fed in them and they have all, apart from Trefor, treated their cages as their safe place. It's safer for puppies, especially at night. They are a good way of training dogs for house breaking.They love being locked up and enjoy it so much they bark all the time?

Snap, ours walks himself to it as well. Sometimes retreats to it early. As you said before, he likes it is covered as well. It is a big old thing, and as you said we take it in the back of the car as well and he happily jumps in and out of it. Protects him from the rest of the luggage as well.I've kept dogs for over 50 years, I've had Cocker Spaniels, Field Spaniels, Irish Setters and a Labrador.

After an initial period in the cages the doors were always left open. The dogs went in there by their own choice because it was their safe place. Trefor didn't like a cage after a bad experience at the vets. He never spent an hour in one after that.
Dogs like a place to bolt to, somewhere where they feel safe, something that is their territory. Dogs in the wild don't live in a comfy lounge or bedroom, they seek the comfort of a small enclosure. We only have one dog now, a 11 year old Cocker. She can sleep where she likes, on the sofa, our bed, yet she choses to sleep under the smallest coffee table which is against a wall.
Our dogs have never been left when either of us have worked, my wife, a photographer specialising in pedigree dogs, worked from home so our dogs were not left alone. When she was in the darkroom for hours she or I would often find the dogs, especially the Irish had retreated to the cage to sleep. If a dog is barking it's not because they have been put in cage and those people who put a dog in a cage and let it bark do not understand dogs and should not be keeping one.
The dog has to trust the cage and know that it's a safe place and not a punishment. I have no hesitation in using one, especially in a car where it is illegal not to have your dog secure.

firecrackerjim really must have some prison or lonely kennels in mind when he talks about no animal likes being caged up. It is not like that at all.
