My hubby was kinda the same way, he didn't want a small dog and has a love for labs. The minute I carried Jake in the house and he saw how adorable and cute he was, he took him and cuddled him. But, he wouldn't admit that he liked him for awhile. He babies him, plays with him, helps me spoil him.....he has been perfect for us.
Congratulations on converting your hubby and on getting another yorkie!
