1st off, welcome to YT!! You did come to the right place to find great answers.
Your G/F may just be caught up in the cuteness of a Yorkie, you can dress it up and pretty much you have a "baby"
Good things about Yorkies, are, they are small, so when you go away on the weekends, you could take the yorkie with you, they do ride in carriers and they love to go bye bye.
I also work outside the home and my 2 are in a Ex Pen during the day, this is a big pen where your yorkie would have a big enough area to have a bed, pee pad and food and water. She could still get up and stretch and not be cramped up in a small crate.
I don't think I would rule out not getting her one. Maybe if you have some friends who have a small dog, maybe she could doggie sit.
Has she ever had a pet before?
Yorkies need a lot of grooming attention, daily brushing, weekly baths, every 6 weeks they need to go to the groomers. Then you have all the glamor everyone loves when it comes to yorkies (clothes, bows, blankets, toys, etc etc etc.)
Has your G/F been to YT yet? Maybe she should do some research on this subject.
Good luck and I'm sure you will make the right decision. |
