i have a male and he is a real sweetheart, he has never been snappy or agressive in ANY way..... even taking bones and reaching into the food dish (i did this constantly when he was littel so he would get used to it..... there are lots of little kids in my extended family and i didnt want an accident to occur)........ he will bark at the cat if she goes near his food dish (BUT NOT IN AN AGGRESIVE MANNER) and if she doesnt listen he will push her with his nose until she is a good three feet away.......... i think it all depends on how well they are socialized...... it doesnt just come back to yorkies either, most people rationalize this way about all breeds... personally i like females better (but that is just my preferance..... i have to reason such as they are "nicer") but i would never trade my little guy for anything |
