A yorkie is really easy to bring "on the go", but I would not consider them to be low maintenace. They require alot of grooming and attention. Attention I'm sure wouldn't be the problem, seeing as you have two children, but the grooming might be. Missy is the most high maintenace dog I've owned. Alot of people think the tiny yorkies aren't meant to be around children, but my Missy is 3 3/4 lbs and my children (ages 4-7) are incredible with her. They are so, so careful, but I made sure to teach them "the rules" before bringing her home, and I would give them reminders for the first little while. We had a scarey reminder of how fragile these little ones can be when Missy broke her leg as a puppy. As far as whether to go male or female, I like both. It really depends on the individual puppies personality. Good Luck in your search for your pup! |
