Well for me my breeder does temperament tests on her Yorkies, and is a trainer herself. I wanted my Yorkie for certain activities, agility and obedience being the foremost in my mind.

She brought out two males, and there were other puppies present, oh my yes I wanted a male, and had them run around under and over our feet.

I asked about their personalities, and she gave a verbal description of each and a comparison between the two. Structurally both were very sound, you have to have that for agility with one male likely to go to 6 or 6.5 lbs and the other smaller maybe 5 - 5.5 lbs. One was a bit better conformation wise, than the other.

After listening to her, and watching the pups. I got down on the floor. Both immediately came over to investigate this person on their turf. lol

I held, petted, felt both many times. Watched some more. Razz kept on coming over. He was secure in my arms. I'd let him down to run n play, and a moment or two later, he had to come back again.

He was the higher drive, more curious, more confident boy. We picked each other out. I've not had one regret. His conformation came in solid and true. His coat is pure silk, his bite is scissor. He is athletic, curious, confident, and both a people person, and also loves dogs. He did for sure grow into his puppy character.

He is also affectionate and can be a lapdog, but also likes his individual time on his bed and in his crate.

He is our best guard dog. He is also stubborn, very male, and is territorial. He has absolutely no fear (when he should), so that is something I try always to be alert to.
