my yorkie I picked because she was 'so mellow" according to the show breeder who said she was to timid to be a show dog was full of rubbish. As soon as this dog realized she got tons of love and affection and good food she became a barking, crazy, run around nut (not in a bad way, just totally different than the 1 year old we picked up)
havanese are just more mellow..my friends dog roams the house freely..and she easily outdoor trained.. my yorkie is and cannot..although many on here have free roam of the house. I have younger children who leave things on the floor so I worry. Not to say it wouldnt be any different with a havenese/
yorkies are very loving and want alot of attention..havanese, not so much..
so its seems as though you want a little of both..lol
we love our girl, she is great. if you are looking for a mellow dog I dont think yorkies are it unless you get an older one..they are both great dogs..cant go wrong..

I love both the Yorkie and the Havanese...but...have you thought of the Shih Tzu? The quietest dog we have is when we get to puppy sit for our friend's Shih Tzu. Brody and Mia are not yappers...like I have seen in some dogs, but compared to Sunny, they are big time yappers. LMAO Also, Shih Tzu are more mellow and laid back and good with kids. They are a fairly ancient breed that was almost intentionally extincted, and have been brought back to the world by very dedicated people. They are sturdy little dogs, yet small. Oh, and there is no such thing as an "Imperial Shih Tzu" according to their breed club. (americanshihtzuclub.org/) The "Imperial" word is to the Shih Tzu like the "Teacup" word is to the Yorkie. LMAO Shih Tzu tend to be not very heat tolerant...Havanese are, from what a local breeder has said, which makes them a great choice for Florida...and in full coat, Shih Tzu are at least twice the work of a Yorkie. You can trust me on that one! LOL I am not trying to sell you off your choices or Yorkie vs. Havanese, just offering an additional suggestion for a very sweet little, mellow (from all I have ever been around), loving, lap and companion dog. If you think you might be interested, you might ask some questions at shihtzuchattertwo.sunlitesplace.com/.


I am so curious what you decide...
