I can't compare as Buddybear is my only Yorkie and I've never had another. I think he tries to share himself equally between my dh and myself.
Some one once said if you want a dog to be attached to you get the opposite sex that you are but I don't know if that's true. Buddybear will comfort whoever is sick by being by their side almost 25/7.
When one of us leaves the house for errands, he constantly goes to the window to look out then does a patrol in the house, will lay down next to whoever is home for a bit then repeat.
I've never been so much in love with a "dog" in my life
