This is my first dog, and I think the dog's size has a lot to do with it. There cute and fun and can be a pain in the butt, but I doubt other dog owners love their dogs any less. Yorkies do tend to get more awwwwwwws than most other dogs, and since they don't get big will get that for most of their lives.
Their coats lend many owners to do some creative grooming, whether it be for actually showing the dog or just for fun. And I've noticed many Yorkie owners dress their dogs up, which I just can't get into at all.
Being a guy, I will say that Ruger is one hell of a chick magnet, and I would tell most guys to get a grip on their masculinity and see what a little "foo foo" dog can do for them. I've never seen a cute girl say awwwww to a pit bull.
