Thanks Nacy - I will look into the Silky Terrier also. We only have a 16-yr old so kids aren't issue. What I like about the yorkie is they are just so adorable, and while the shih Tzu is also adorable, I think the grooming on the terrier would be easier (we would do a puppy cut on either breed). And I've read that the Yorkie is very trainable (stubborn, but trainable), and I like their personality. But it's hard to know - we like both breeds, and might end up getting either, depending on which rescue group has the dog we fall in love with. |
