I just got my first Yorkie this week. He is a 1 year old. After researching I decided that a male was the right choice although he is my first male dog. I have another dog, Annie, a 24 lb wheaten/lhasa mix. The breeder had a 6 year old girl that I really wanted because she was smaller than my Buddy. Anyway, the breeder said that the girl would not fit into our family because, in her words, she is a "b****h". I think a boy would fit into your family very well. Hopefully others will post their suggestions as I am certainly no expert; I just know that my new baby is great. You might want to check with the breeder to see what she/he suggests. Good luck with your decision.......................... Pat |
