I have a famale yorkie (Chanel) and a male Chi (Nacho).....and my chi is more of a lapdog then my yorkie. Chanel loves affection but she is very independent and is def. a terrier. Loves to play and chase birds and all that fun stuff but My Chi he's extremely over protective. He needs to be attached to me always. He really thinks he's human. I love them both sooooo much, they are my babies
