Thanks for the input!

I didn't realize Yorkies didn't shed! That was one of my concerns... couldn't imagine walking around with all that long hair stuck to my clothes and wasn't sure what I'd have to do to prevent it!

Sounds like some of you have Yorkies that are lap dogs and some of you find that yours aren't cuddlers. Anyone know how I would go about finding one that's more of a lap dog type? Is that about choosing a breeder that breeds for that kind of personality or is there something that I would look for when going to choose a puppy? Do you think it's better to find an adult dog who already seems to have that kind of personality or to find a puppy that I can train to be a lap dog? Is it nature or nurture?

Thanks!
