To add, When ever one of my yorkies passed and I purchased another, never in my heart did I want one like the one that passed. Some years back my cousins son was going away for 2 weeks, he asked me to babysit his 8 month old little girl. He and I bought our our yorkies a week apart, my Matese was like no other yorkie I had, in looks that is, she was huge and gotten for my 6 yo girl who was grieving for 7 months over the loss of her 2 sisters that passed 6 months of each other. My cousins son's yorkie was the spitting image of my 2nd yorkie Kajon, he would bring her to my house 4 times a week to play with my Matese as the they were the same age. I would get such a pain in my heart because his girl looked exactly like my girl that I had lost 7 months earlier. The 2 weeks that I watched her she was glued to me, would not allow my 2 girls near me. She didn't have Kajon's sweet personality even tho she looked just like her. When my cousins son came to pick her up 2 weeks later, she wouldn't go to him, she clung to me, snapped at him when he tried to take her from me, he was very hurt and crying. His new wife didn't like dogs, did not want him to buy this dog, he had just lost his little girl who he loved dearly, disregarded his wife telling him not to get another dog. Now his yorkie not wanting anything to do with him, his wife tells him to just leave the dog with me since the dog loved me more then her daddy. I told him absolutely not, she looks to much like Kajon and my heart has been breaking these last 2 weeks. I told him his dog will get over me and will be his dog again. I drove his dog to his house, that was the only way we could get her home. I went to visit her every day for 2 weeks until I saw she was daddy's little girl again. I would never want a yorkie that resembled one of my passed girls. I do not compare one passed yorkie to a new one, never have, never will. Each yorkie is unique in it's own lil way, have their own personalities and quirky lil ways. You may never find one just like your passed boy, what ever you get, yorkie or yorkiepoo, just love him / her for the dog that it is.
