Now my boy yorkie(same mother and father as her but from a different litter) you would never even know he was here, he is lazy, quiet, food driven, was easier to train, he is shy, will just lay around like a lump, he rarley barks, likes to play with his toys and loves his walks,sweet sensitive little boy. 2 yorkies, same parents, 2 completley opposite personalities. So i think personality matters just as much as the breed...a terrier is a terrier though..they're little dogs with a big personality. |
