Thanks

I do not believe that theory. I have five Yorkies, four of which are girls and ALL are more bonded to me then to my husband. I really think the bonding has a lot ot do with who takes care of them and spends the time with them. My girls will sit on my husband's lap but when I get up to leave the room they are like a train all following me. What I will say is that my first Yorkie was a male and I always thought it was a fluke until I got my second boy but I feel the males train easier and listen better and more whimpy then the females. My females are stubborn and spiteful. Also, my male is more likely to cuddle up quicker then my females. This is what I've observed over the 12 yrs. I've had Yorkies. With that said I will say I'd never give my girls up either and they are fun in that you can put bows in their hair etc. Oh and I should say tht the down fall to a male is they do mark and that is regardless of having them neutered. Both my guys were neutered early on and both marked. My first male only marked outside but this little guy who will be a year in March occassionally does mark in the house. He came from an abusive situation so whether that has something to do with it I don't know. Elaine
