I definitely never expected I'd end up with two!
Initially, it was a tossup between getting a Yorkie or a Maltese. My previous was a Maltese who was incredibly special to me, so I decided to go with a different breed this time. Boy am I glad I did!
Also, I was deciding between the two breeds because I wanted a dog around 6 to 7 pounds that's hypo-allergenic, as I'm allergic to most dogs. Most importantly, I think a major selling point was reading on YT all about Yorkies' spunky yet super sweet personalities.
