welcome Spartanpup(I wont hold that against you lol) I have always had big dogs and when I had to have my Lab put down my wife and I decided to look at something smaller. Low and behold the fist time I held a Yorkie Pup I was hooked, we got ours last June and she is the most enjoyable dog I have ever had. They are so loving and playful, no matter what kind of day I had at work within 5 minutes of being home she has me laughing like crazy. I only wish I hadn't waited so long to get my first Yorkie, we are already discussing getting another. Good luck in your search and be prepared to be owned by a Yorkie.
