I can honestly say, if I lived alone, and was in my 80' even a young 80, I would not consider a Yorkie. For one, I just can't get into the grooming aspect and all that goes with it. My wife is the wiz on that...I would get some short hair fog that was larger, heartier, less maintenance, and not a diva. Then again, it is only my opinion. I also know I would not get a Cane Corso at 80 either or I could not keep up with him/her. Most likely I would get a nice mutt at some local shelter. I hope he finds a nice companion dog. |
