i now have a 2lb, 13 week old yorkie who eats bones, rips her toys,squeaks all her toys to the point of driving me nuts, poops n pees without privacy,digs holes, chews everything...and acts more like a dog then any big dog i've ever met, lol, i loved my shelite for his sweet undoglike personality, but meesha is more like a dog-like then he was, size dosen't matter!!, every dog has a different personality so i wish people would stop judging by breed and size...

That's so funny. Sheltie's can be such sweethearts. I have to agree about the Yorkie personality. Gracie hates me trying to make her look beautiful. I spend all this time giving her a bath and blowing her dry, then trimming her nails and around her eyes. I get her top knot all in place and she gets down and rolls on the floor, the couch, the cat bed and anything else she can get on and has her fur flying in 6 different directions within 30 seconds! They may be little and cute but they have very strong personalities and are as smart as can be. As someone else said people who hate little dogs have usually never gotten to know one. At least not one who is properly trained.
