Just a really athletic dog; her vertical was more than 2 1/2 feet before she started getting old. I had the same kind of concerns and always had large dogs in the past (e.g., two Afghans, a Doberman, and a Mastiff), but frankly, my yorkie Minnie was a lot more fun and a lot funnier, and I think it's likely my next dog will be a yorkshire terrier also (Minnie just died 2 weeks ago). Just very affectionate and a lot of fun to spend time with.

They ARE funny, aren't they? Very entertaining. I am so very sorry for your loss of Minnie. Your words show how much she meant to you. Hope that your heart heals in time and you find that "just right" pup to add some more entertainment and laughs
