Maximo was a present for my 40th birthday. Every person is different, but for me, I cannot imagine having had a Yorkie earlier in my life. In my opinion, they require much more attention and work than the average dog. Every dog needs walks and exercise and play and together time, but Yorkies have a way of taking over your life. 
To me, it is like having a human toddler. Other dogs you can let out in the backyard and not supervise and not worry that a hawk is going to hurt them, or a person is going to steal them. |
Soo true..every bit of what you say here. They also need regular baths and daily grooming. I set aside a good 30 minutes a day to groom my dog and brush her teeth...both take patience and gentleness
