Hi!

I'm planning to get a dog and I'm trying to decide whether to get a Yorkie, a Maltese or a Chihuahua. I want a small dog that will be a lap dog and that will do well being taken to the office with me during the week. I've always had big dogs before, so I'm excited about getting a dog that will be able to travel and come to work with me!

I'm not sure which breed to get and whether I should look for a puppy or buy/rescue an adult dog, so I figured I'd go to the experts and see if any of you Yorkie owners have suggestions or if you can tell me what qualities you like in the breed.

I'm doing lots of research right now to be sure I make the right decision, but I still also have questions about what kind of grooming Yorkies require (frequency?) and whether to train the dog to use a litter box, papers or just to go outside (which I always did with my big dogs).

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!!
