HAHA!! After having a chow, I am not sure a Yorkie could compare in the grooming! I enjoy the bonding of grooming.
Chows are also supposed to be 'one person' dogs... we socialized our chow from day one and still do - that has made him be a social boy that likes to be around people - but he still prefers us to anyone.
Socializing would not be any less with a Yorkie. And actually, when I get my studio open(hoping for this year) then it would be coming to work with me.
