I come from an educated, "worldly" family -- yet I was clueless about my Yorkies until I came to Yorkie Talk and learned a lot from people who live outside of New England.
In terms of the tail -- I don't think this is a matter of open mindedness. It's a superficial thing about looks that doesn't matter if you are from New York or Wyoming. If I could go back in time, I would still want Max's tail docked, but Teddy's I would leave. Max is classic and holds his tail straight at all times, Teddy is a tail wagger so I think it would cute on him. |
They do look so cute when they do wag their tails. I call Galen's a big white plume lol

Other people may prefer a girl because they dream of pink pet accessories and think only boys are rough and tumble. There are millions of reasons.
I ended up choosing Max on his picture first, before realizing he was a male. It was meant to be. |
I was told by some breeders, when I was looking for a pup, a lot of people wanted girls. I was looking for a little boy. I was brought up with males so that is what I was used to. For me they seem more lovey, clingy, and not as hyper. . . .well I got about two out of three
