I had a male (Teddy) who passed at 14. I now have my little Gidget. I got a female because I didn't want to "replace" Teddy but just get another Yorkie. Teddy was more protective of me and Gidget is more of a cuddle bug. Each have their own personalities. Wouldn't trade Gidget for another male even though I enjoyed Teddy so much. I had him for 14 years and Gidget just turned 2 in January. Too early to make any kind of comparison. Just love her to the moon and back. |
