I've had Yorkies for years, so I knew what they are like and was prepared. But YES!! they can be a challenge. They just have so much personality and they are stubborn as well - that's quite a combination. I love everything about my Yorkies but there are times when I wish they would just give me a rest and not be standing two feet away from my face with a toy in their mouth and their heads cocked to the side waiting for me to interact with them. Regardless, they make me smile EVERY SINGLE DAY and I am truly addicted to them - just as you are with Buddy.
