[zoedo]

I didn't really research. I didn't know I had to since I never had before with my other dogs. But this is my first yorkie. All I knew before was that my daughter was given a yorkie for Christmas and her's was so cuddly from day one. She got her at 8 weeks I think and she lived about 90 miles away. They stayed with me for almost a week and her pup was with me all day long. She followed me around and laid down on my lap when I was relaxing and was so sweet that I got attached to her. At the time I thought all yorkies had the same temperament. She'd come when I called her and when they left for their new home I felt the loss. So I told my husband that's what I wanted for Mother's Day. I saw and held Zoe for a few times within the couple of weeks before taking her home but I guess she was too young for her true personality to come thru. I guess...but I'm not sure.. I did read lots and lots about yorkies before I actually picked her up but everything I read suggested they were mild mannered little lap dogs. One even said if you wanted a lapdog to get a yorkie. So I thought that was going to be the case..But my little Zoe dashes about like she's on a mission...I do love her...but lapdog she isn't!! LOL
