I think it depends on the individual dog but in my opinion and only based on my own experience I do feel that the male dogs are more needy then the females. I have a total of five. Four girls and one male. The male is the second male Yorkie I've had and both of them are very similiar in their demeanor. Both Newman and Beans are like litttle babies. They have to be on your lap and they cry and follow for attention. Now, my females are just as loving but not quite as needy. They are more independent. Also, I've noticed that it seems to be easier to train the males. Both males trained right away where as the females still even now will have accidents. I've been told by breeders that the males are more needy too, and use to think that they just said that because the females sell quicker but now I'm not sure. I can only base it on my own experience with them. I think this is a good question for some reputable breeders. How about it breeders? What is your take? Elaine |
