| Why a Yorkie What made you decide to get a Yorkie over another small dog? Was it a present, or did you pick it out? |

| Honestly, I just absolutely fell in love with the breed. I love the fact that they don't shed (with my son's allergies, this was a HUGE consideration) And considering that I am adding another Yorkie addition to our home this week, I think I made a great choice for me and my family!!

| I've always thought Yorkies were adorable with big personalities and when I found out they wouldn't kick up my allergies I just had to have one

| My parents had a Yorkie and he was so sweet. After my Mom died, I became the furguy's Mom. Ever since then, I've always wanted Yorkies. Sean is my 4th, including the one from my parents. |

| I like big dogs, but I can't stand the constant smell and drool and ick... Yorkies are small and adorable, they don't drool incessantly and I can hold her on my lap! That's the biggest thing of all. That and I know that she will love me unconditionally, no matter if I go out without her, or if I am unhappy or whatever. She will just come up and lick me and hug me, she always makes me smile... |

| my story! I was 13 years old when my grandma and i were shopping in jc pennys...when i saw the cutiest little critter in the world..a pink bow in her hair..a cute pink dress...and there it was she said A YORKIE! I asked the lady what kind of dog was that and where did she get it from and how much....she told me and i was heartbroken cause i knew i couldnt afford that and either could my grandma...so i gave up...but the more and more i saw them i told myself i was going to get one someday...i started watching animal planet and dog shows and fell even further for the breed....i finally saved up enough money by the age 21 and thats when i got Wyatt!

| I knew a yorkie when I was a kid and he was the best dog. sweet but protective. very loyal and incredibly smart. so I have always wanted one. but as an adult, having other breeds of dogs (it was sooooo hard to find a good yorkie breeder here), they were great dogs but I still had this aching desire to have a yorkie. Hubby finally got me one and now I know what I have been missing all these years. It is defintely the small breed for me. I will never again go without a yorkie. my other passion is great danes. yes...I know...total opposites but they are wonderful dogs as well. one day, I will raise danes an you can all see the adorable pictures.

| My first Yorkie found me. I didn't even know what one was until I found this poor, sickly little fella in the middle of the road one day. I had my little Chester for 5 and 1/2 years before I lost him. He was somewhere between 10 & 12 when I found him, so he lived a long life, the last five of which were spent being spoiled beyond imagination. I love the two little darlings I have now, but no dog will ever touch my heart the way Chester did. He was the world's most perfect dog. |

| When I was a kid (about a bazillion years ago) a neighbor had a Yorkie.....her name was Winnie......I never forgot her.....I always knew there was something special about them.......about 2 years ago I was sitting in the eye doctors office and I saw a man.....and I was like OMG it was the woman that had Winnie's son.........So I identified myself to him and he actually remembered my parents (we're talking from about 30 years ago) he told me his mom had passed away.....and I told him I always remembered Winnie.......then in April & May I lost my two little dogs (two weeks apart from each other) and on Memorial Day my son came home with Brandi at 1am and I've been totally enamoured since....... |

| a friend of ours had a yorkie... max... and he is too cute... i wanted a cat.. my mom said no because they shed and at the time i was going to guelph every weekend to see my now ex-bf and she didn't want to take care of it... so i asked my dad if a yorkie would be ok because they don't shed and it would be small enough i could bring it to guelph with me... my mom still didnt want a dog but my dad said yes (i'm currently living with them.. hence the need for permission!) it wasn't until we picked up layla that my mom fell in love with her... and we couldn't have picked a better time to get her.. she helped mend my broken heart |

| I've had mostly the large breeds over the years, and now that I'm retired and love traveling and RVing, it's too cramped with the big guys. I decided I wanted something small so I could fly with her, something non-shedding since my husband has a bit of a problem with it, and I wanted a girl. Reason being, I raised 6 boys, never had a daughter.......now I have two hairy-legged daughters. I couldn't be happier, unless of course I had a couple more. I can't tell you how much we love our Yorksters. What a wonderful breed. |

| I have always wanted a yorkie.........never could affor one or allowed to have one (I grew up in foster care). What I most love about the breed is that they are small........even teapots are small compared to other breeds........and their hair I yearn for Bobbi to have a long coat someday
