I wanted to post this question on this forum because I am considering getting a yorkie but I am not 100% sure. The part that I am unsure about is whether a yorkie will fit my current lifestyle. I understand that this breed is dependent on a person which is why I’m hesitant on getting one. I work about 8 hours a day and like to go running after work..which takes about 1.5 hours (of course I would go home at lunch and after work to let the yorkie out…). But I wanted to see what the opinions are of other yorkie owner’s. Do you think that if I got a yorkie she or he would live a lonely existence? Do yorkies handle alone time pretty well? I have babysat a yorkie and that is how I came to love the breed, however the yorkie that I watched was very attached to me and it was tough to leave her at home alone. This is why am concerned bout getting a yorkie of my own. What do you guys think?
