As a little girl I fell in love with yorkies...well with almost every terrier breed. When I got married, I already had a mini schnauzer, and when dh and I decided to get a second dog, we found a shih tzu. She lived with us for almost 16 years before going to the rainbow bridge. She was only 6 lbs and was our little peanut.

After a 2 year period of mourning, I was debating what breed of dog to get. Neither dh or I wanted another shih, we felt like we'd be trying to replace her. So...I thought of the yorkie. Terrier personality (I'd always loved schnauzers, airedales, etc.) and tiny size.

LOL, my two are 13 and 16 lbs. So much for picking the breed for their size. DH and I are both total converts now. We can't either one imagine ever getting another breed of dog. Or getting any yorkie but a rescue.
