Actually a yorkie wasn't our first choice. We wanted either a Boxer, German Shepherd or Old English Mastiff. BUT after considering all the pros and cons we decided on a small dog. I figured if I couldn't have the biggest dog I'd have the smallest!
Plus I love that we don't have to walk him.
My uncle has two yorkies and I always thought they were so adorable so after a lot of research that was the dog for us. I do think they are the most beautiful breed and I love terriers.
I'll never have a different breed now. I'm totally hooked!
