If there were no yorkies, I probably wouldn't have a dog.
I never was a dog person until I got Chloe. I wanted a cat, but our 14 yo son is terribly allergic to cats. I don't know where he got that, because no one else in our families is allergic to cats. A yorkie is about the size of a cat.
Of course, now that I have Chloe, I think I may prefer yorkies to cats
