yappier

Increasingly vocal, small-dog

Yappier is the comparative form of yappy, describing someone or something that talks more excessively or in a more annoyingly persistent way than another.

It often characterizes small dogs that bark more shrilly and incessantly than others, or people who chatter on without much substance.

My neighbor's chihuahua is even yappier than her terrier.

He gets yappier after a few drinks.
