How can people speak without thinking like that? I have owned pom's, (mine) daschunds, american eskimo's, cockers, beagles,(all my childrens while at home) and black and tan and plot coon hounds.(husbands)and the list goes on lol, out of all of those breeds I have to say my little Yorkies are the smartest of them all. Learn faster when housebreaking, teaching tricks, and obeying commands. Evidently this person has never been around a Yorkie for very long periods of time.
