yappy
Like small dogs
Yappy describes a dog that barks frequently in short, high-pitched yelps—typically small breeds like Chihuahuas or terriers: Their yappy little dog won't shut up.
Extended to people, yappy means talkative in an annoying way, chattering on about nothing: She got yappy after a few drinks.
