I am actually a pit bull girl....but when we moved out nobody in San Diego would rent to us, so I had to find them a new home, they are doing great and although it broke my heart, I don't regret it....BUT when I was living in NY I had my pit, one roomie had a yorkie, and one had a doxie so I fell in love with the yorkie and said if I never had to get a small dog, it HAD to be a yorkie!! Ha Ha And here I am am with Maxx!!!
