Welcome! That's great the way you are researching before you buy to make sure your family and the breed mesh. I've owned yorkies for 14 years. I am just a pet owner, not a breeder. In my exp, yorkies are yappy little dogs. They tend to suffer from Doberman delusions. Mine have been very loving, have their feelings hurt easily. You have to be careful what breeder you get them from bc they can have a lot of expensive health problems. They, as a breed, are more difficult to potty train, but I have had luck w pee pad (paper) training. I love mine to death! If you get one, you might want to get one that runs on the big side - they are less delicate, easily hurt (I have a 4-5 lb and she is very delicate, easily hurt), and as a whole seem to do better w children. I hope you and your family have many years of happiness with whatever breed you choose.
PS - the list of nonshedding breeds is a great thing someone posted. |
