There were two girls and one boy. I wanted a girl so that narrowed it down to two.
Jaya's sister was very outgoing, outspoken, and very attached to the mother. Jaya would go to the mom, and her sister would push her away and hog the mom. The mom was also more drawn to the other girl. Jaya would just sit there by herself in the corner closest to me, very quietly. She had a patch of hair missing because the others in the litter bullied her as she was the smallest. She was more interested in me while the other one was more interested in the mom.
The sister was much cuter than Jaya..she had a much cuter face, and she had a silky coat while Jaya had a cotton coat. She was also estimated to be 4 lbs while Jaya was estimated to be 3 lbs. The breeder showed me the father and told me that Jaya would look exactly like the dad. Jaya also had darker coloring. The breeder also asked me how I would groom her as an adult.. because I wanted to keep my yorkie in a puppycut, she suggested that the pup with the cotton coat would suit that type of cut rather than the silky coated pup.
At the time, what it came down to was that Jaya had the quiet, serene, personality - she was independent, and she was more drawn to me than the other female. In addition, she had the type of coat that would suit the grooming methods I was interested in, as well as the correct coloring. I totally made the right decision... she was exactly what we needed for a first-time dog owner...very independent and loyal.
When we went to look at Jenna, my husband chose her. His reasoning was simply that she wouldnt leave him alone..... it was a five minute decision. She turned out to be totally different .... very affectionate and hyper and loud and outgoing... she was wonderful. |
aww they both sound cute!!
quick question about their coats and hair cuts -
when i get my yorkie, i want to keep it with a short cut (not long hair to the ground) - but you said the cut would look better on Jaya since her coat isnt silky.
but now that you have Jenna, how do you guys have her hair? long - and if you guys cut it - does it look just as good as Jaya?
please and thank you
ooh and how old were they when you first got them - because if they're weeks and you got them when they were that young - then it is possible to tell what type of coat theyll have then?
