My wife did all the research. She wanted a little dog that didn't shed, and she spent hours on the Internet. I didn't want anything to do with a little dog, but I had to admit the picture she came up with of a Yorkie pup melted my heart.

Now that I'm a Yorkie fanatic, though, the reason I would get another one is the convenience factor. They are athletic, feisty and smart, which is everything I would want in a big dog. But their size fits our lifestyle. We can take them with on vacations. They can get up on the couch and bed without hogging the whole thing. And there's something to be said about small poops.
