Yes, alot of the DH's here and BF's have learned (grown?) to love yorkies. Mine didn't want a yorkie, it wasn't manly enough- LOL-. He even tried to not like her, but within a few days he came 'round. She has him wrapped around her paw now, and he loves it!
Keep talking to your guy. He needs to be part of the pups upbringing. The right dog will be there for both of you when the times right.
