| Hello. I would make sure your female is spayed before getting a boy. Other then that boys are pretty great. I have two girls and a boy and my boy is the one who likes to cuddle the most.

| I'm seriously considering getting a little boy!! I heard the same. I also hear that there is less jealousy when there is a boy and a girl |

| Temperament Quote:
I would just recommend spending time with the parents and the litter before you choose if possible, whether it's a boy or girl. And do temperament tests to make sure the puppy's personality fits with your house. When we got our little girl she also had a brother who was super cute and fun but he was a bit too feisty for our house. Here is an excellent AKC article on temperament testing.

| Ok I read the test and that is EXCELLENT advice. Thank you Baleighi!!! The breeder isn't in my hometown so I will be traveling to see the this coming weekend. So excited!!! To be choosing my new baby!! He or she won't be coming home since only seven weeks still. But its definitely a reputable akc accredited breeder. I have spoken with her at length and am very comfortable with her and her breeding program. |

| In total over the last 30+ years I have had 4 females, I had a pack of 3 girls at one time, all got along fantastically, they ate from their own dish side by side, never a growl or snarl. But, that's how I trained them, I was the "pack leader". Over the years they passed away one by one. My last girl lived to be 17 Years old, her loss was over whelming, I swore no more dogs, the loss of them is to traumatic. 6 weeks after my girl went to rainbow bridge I was still grieving, cried all the time, my house was so empty, my heart was so dead. My vet called me, they had just gotten a male surrender, 2 1/2 yo, not an abused dog, she begged me to just come see the dog. I never wanted a male dog because they mark everything, I told this to my vet, she said he was nurtured, some mark some do not. I told her all the reasons why I didn't want another dog, but she kept pleading with me to just come see this dog, she kept saying Joan, this is your dog. Well, to appease my vet and out of respect for her to think of me when this dog came to her, I went JUST TO SEE THE DOG knowing I would NEVER have a male dog. When I saw this little guy at my vets lunch room running to every tech that entered the room, so friendly, I thought who could toss this little guy out of their lives. So he came home with me lol. We are a team for 3 years now, and what I can say about boy vs girl yorkie is, lol, boys sure are mommas lil boy, he MUST be touching me all the time if we are on the sofa, heat of summer, cold of winter, this boy is pressed into my thigh. He is more of a cuddle bug then any of my girls ever were. Good luck in choosing that perfect lil puppy, girl or boy, ya just can't go wrong with either sex. As a PS. my boy does not mark, he is house broken, makes only outdoors, he squats to pee, no marking in the house, he is a PERFECT boy and very, very smart, learns new commands very fast.

| Get a boy! I need to live vicariously through the people on here!! I won't EVER be able to get a boy as a companion for chewie, so I love seeing the pictures and reading such great stories on here. |

| Well I am leaning towards a boy, I understand the heartbreak of losing these precious babies. My little Allie Claire passed away the day after Easter. I miss her so very very much. This new little love won't replace her. He or she will only add to My heart!!! Matese I'm so happy for you and your little boy that you found each other❤❤❤ |
