I've heard there are other men that have Yorkies on here, but I never see any in the forums. Also, why the stereotype of a guy having a small dog being "feminine"????? No one on here has ever suggested that, you all have been accepting and very friendly. It's more of the public in general.

I was raised around small dogs and it's just a preference I and some other guys have. I'm cool with what people think. I just don't get the connection. If a Dad has a short child, no one would think anything of that.
I read your post and got a small giggle. When I made the decision to get a yorkie my husband was a little unsure. He went along with it just to make me happy. Tell you what, he LOVED that little guy more than I could have ever imagined. He talked about him like he was our kid, and he treated him like he was our kid. We both bragged about the little things like new parents do.

When we got the tragic new about JW not being with us anymore he took it just as hard as I did. When we decided to get another he was hesitant. But after a few days he is starting to get back to being entertained by the simple things these little guys/gals do to worm their way into your heart.

So, I have to say there is nothing wrong with men liking small dogs. Just because they are small they have BIG hearts! I tried getting my hubby on here, but I dont think he will go that far.
