Well, this is pretty crazy! It has been over 5 years since I made this post, and over 5 years that Lilo has been with me. Because of the host of issues Lilo came to me with, I ended up apprenticing under a professional dog trainer and am now working as one myself. I made to switch from graphic design and I couldn't be happier. I work at The Urban Hound Hotel & Daycare in Boston and Lilo loves coming to work with me every day, not to mention he is one of the most obedient dogs I know.
Anyways, the real reason for me coming back to make this post. So many people doubt me when I tell them that I believe Lilo is a purebred Yorkie (other than you lovely Yorkie folks) so I caved and decided to try a dog breed DNA test. I gave the company no clues as to what I believed Lilo was, nor did I upload a photo. The results came back a couple of weeks ago, and what do you know? You were all right! Just wanted to thank you all again for being so nice when I made that original post, and now I can proudly say that I am a true lover of this breed.
PS: I'm throwing in a current picture of me and Lilo <3 He is roughly 7-8 years old now and loves life. |
