They sleep with me and the hubs every night and are the best ever bed buddies, and during the day they play together, nap together and eat together, total bff's until we walk in the picture and then it's all about us. They will BOTH sit on my lap while I work at the computer, all curled up snug as can be. They are also very affectionate and show their appreciation with sweet little kisses, and they love our kids and grandkids. One suddenly became a barker when she wanted our attention, BUT all I had to do was teach, "no bark", for about a week and that behavior ended as suddenly as it appeared. But then there is the newest member of our clan, 14 week old little Doc. He's less than 2 pounds of pure energy, and loves to give his sisters grief, BUT he sleeps all night, takes naps during the day and is doing excellent on the Pee Pads. He's not too much of a cuddler like the girls, he's a speed cuddle, but everytime he sees me it's like the first time of the day and he showers me with affection and kisses. So, even with all his energy, I just love him to pieces and wouldn't trade him for anything! Good luck in your search! |
I have a male and a female...both re-homes that I got at 14 months old and 17 months old. They are exactly 6 days apart in age, so not from the same breeder either. I got Mia as a companion for Brody after we puppy sat for Sunny, our friend's Shih Tzu and Brody realized for the first time what it was like to have a 'friend like him' while we were at work. They are super together, but completely attached to us. Both potty outside, but will use puddle pads indoors, too...Florida gets some pretty bad weather sometimes where they just cannot go out. They were both 3 years old in March. Brody does a little 'lean forward and push hips down a smidge' to pee...not a true squat, so he is find on puddle pads...no issues there. Mia squats but lifts her right leg up a little...so is also fine on puddle pads. Our Yorkie kids are very much like 'human children' and we just love them so much.
The Yorkie attitude and energy greatly appeal to me. But, my DH was not a small dog person...it never occurred to him that he'd ever want a Yorkie. But, now that we have Brody and Mia, he says they are 'the perfect dog'...a Rottweiler you actually
want to sit in your lap.
