My husband was actually the one that wanted a yorkie... I wanted anything BUT a yorkie. It was coming up to his 22nd birthday and I asked him what he wanted. He said he wanted a dog. Because of our living situation, I reminded him we couldn't get a big dog because I know his favorite breed is German Sheppard. He said he knew that so I asked him if he was thinking of a particular breed. I expected him to say something like a beagle, cocker spaniel, or something like that and without hesitation he said he wanted a yorkie. My exact response was, "You want a WHAT?!" When looking through ads and different things, I tried to overlook yorkies to other breeds just as small. I don't know why, but I wanted just about anything else but a yorkie. We got a Chip about a month after starting the search and I was instantly in love. 6 months later we brought home Smokey because I wanted him. It's been almost 4 years since we brought Chip home and I wouldn't trade either of them for any other big dog in the world!
