As a representative of the male gender, let me say that my girlfriend wa sthe one that really wanted a Yorkie at first... I've never had a dog, much less taken care of one for a long stretch of time... However, as I've learned more about Yorkies and taken care to look at breeds of dogs, I love the yorkie!!! For me, I'm a guy who is TERRIFIED of larger dogs... Heck, I'll cross the street if there is a larger dog on my side of the sidewalk...
We don't have our Yorkie yet but when we do I think we will both love him equally... As for clothes, etc... I'm not goin there...
