I never gave it a thought, actually. We had a GS for 17yrs and loved that
boy to death. He never gave us one minute of grief. He was a rescue we
got at 1yr old. He and my son were joined at the hip for all those years.
My reason for getting a Yorkie was I am now living in a condo and it made
sence to get a little dog.
To compare the two at this point I can honestly say that a big dog was
sooooooooo much easier to raise. The big dog did what dogs do. Eat, play,
sit, lay, poop and sleep.
A Yorkie is like raising a two year old FOREVER. They do what they want,
own their owner, boss you around and actually THINK and Talk to you
demanding you meet their needs.

I do not consider a Yorkie a dog.
They don't act like one IMO. I never realized a dog could be so human
like until Buddy.
Big dogs are much easier to raise, IMO.
