I always wanted a Shiba Inu.

I went to a couple breeders. They all emphasized that they are a high spirited, independent breed... and that they'd need some space to roam.

I had such a high respect for this dog that I decided not to get one because I didn't think that I would be able to give it what it needed because I live in an apartment.

So I looked for breeds that do well in apartments instead. I narrowed it down to French Bulldog and Yorkshire Terrier.

I couldn't find any Frenchies in my area (they're so adorable) so I got a Yorkie.

After I realized I couldn't get my dream breed (Shiba) breed didn't really matter... it was temperment and Harley is the best Yorkie I could have.
