Well for me it was my dad that got me into Yorkies. We just never had one. As a child being raised by a single father he just couldn't keep up with the grooming. We always had mutts and dogs I found. They never stayed long b/c their owners always came and got them. I got my first real dog when I was 9. He was a Peek-a-Poo I had him for 6 years till he was stolen. I vowed to never get another dog again! My mother-in-law who breeds Chi's gave me one of hers. Then I got into breeding Chi's with her. When I retired my pair my dad told me to look into Yorkies. So I did and fell in love!! They are so much better than Chi's! IMO. They don't shed, learn faster, love the family and strangers alike, and most of all Don't SHED! Here in San Antonio if a dog bites someone weather on your property or not provoked or not it's the owners fault. Chi's are known for being snappy and more and more people are looking for family friendly dogs. Yorkies are the best! I love my Yorkies and I would never get another Chi even though I love the ones I have! |
