I always wanted a dog when I was younger but my parents didn't allow it. So, when I moved out on my own.. I began my search for the "dog for me". I knew I wanted a small dog... toy breed, since I live in a condo, so I did research on a lot of the toy breeds. My boyfriend was also helping me look... he has a llasa apso (sp?) and I wanted a dog as small or even smaller. He found a picture of a Yorkie and we both agreed. They were just so cute in their pictures and they just seemed perfect for me. I began reading up on them, and everything about them I loved. and 1 and a 1/2 years later I found the right one: Biggie!
