I think our Yorkies bring out the most loving and protective Mama spirit in us. And this despite some of our Yorkies clearly wanting and being big dogs in little bodies. And I love that about them. Their intrepid spirit, spunk, loving nature, curiousty, active nature just really really appeals to me.

I love my Razz dearly. But I will say, my heart dog is my Magic. We are incredibly bonded, with a more (in my mind) equal type of relationship. The protection is a much more equal kind of thing. Magic is a big boy, with a huge guarding instinct in him. I feel very safe when I walk Magic. When I walk RAzz, I do feel much more the protector.

Don't get me wrong, I also protect Magic too; but if push were to come to shove; I can let Magic off lead, or drop the lead; and he can hold his own against almost anyone or thing. Razzle I would pick up immediately and try to keep out of harm's way. The way I protect Magic, is to not lead him into "dangerous situations", to be forthright if some-one's elses dogs is being the aggressor to him. This has happened more times than I care to recall.

However this is a thread about Yorkies. I will and could never see my life now, without a wonderful little Yorkie in it.
