Hello all! My name is Julie (aka Juls) and I'm so excited to have found this awesome forum! I live in Texas and have been happily married for almost 24 years. My DH and I have two beautiful boys (17 and 8) and up until this point have been a cat family all these years, due to my allergies. Both of my boys have begged us for years for a dog and I recently learned about Yorkies and they are wonderful pets (and don't shed!). My youngest son has been around his friends' Yorkies and other small animals and is so loving and sweet with them I just can't say no to them any longer.
I am very new and learning a lot by reading your posts. Just by reading I have fallen in love with this breed already and I cannot wait to bring these beautiful babies into our home. My DH asked me this morning if I would consider another breed and I had to tell him no, because I have my heart set on the Yorkie.
My DH and I are considering getting two Yorkies for our family. I have been told by other people with dogs, that their pets are happier because they have a companion, which makes sense, is that true?
The next question is I have read the males tend to fight to be the alpha and the females fight to be the baby or the diva (it wasn't actually worded that way, but you get the idea). The writer of this particular topic recommended 1 male and 1 female if you are considering two. Thoughts?
Thank you in advance for reading and I look forward to receiving feedback. I haven't had a dog in a really long time and I'm learning so much from reading the posts here.
Thanks.
Juls
