I can think of no better way to find out all about this breed than to talk to people that actually have one. I would love to hear from all of you!
The pics of your babies on this forum are sooooo cute. |
Don't get me wrong I adore both Cozy, yorkie, and Lucky, golden. Both of my dogs live indoors with the ability to go in and out as they please. But overall Lucky is the better family pet and "all the time house pet." He loves everybody while Cozy only wants mom and Lucky. She is very selective about who she will go up too. Cozy plays fetch but on her terms where Lucky is always ready to go. Cozy knows all of my friends, relatives, neighbors, and their respective kids but she will not go up to them freely. It is probably different if your yorkie lives in a kid home but Cozy does not. My neighbors kids are in love with Cozy but she is in different to them. She will play with them some but once she says done she means done and into the house she will go. Lucky on the other hand will go through my electric fence is he sees a kid fall off their bike. Lucky loves everyone and would never hurt Cozy. Most golden are very gentle from my experiences. It is usually the little dog that is the trouble maker.
I adore both breeds but personally find Lucky to be the better "all the time house pet."
Good luck with your possible new addition.
