People always ask me if Nina (my 3.7 lb female) is a teacup yorkie. I always reply no, shes just a very small Yorkishire Terrier. And they continue to comment on how big Bentley (my 7.5 lb male) is-although really he's not far from the standard.
I love them both, but although Nina is fiesty and likes to play I can't play with her the same way as I do with Bentley who likes to get roughed up. Nina also can't jump up on our king size gianormously high bed like Bentley can.
It's hard not to favour Nina because she's better behaved in public and easier to carry around with me, she gets to come along with me more often than Bentley. But Bentley loves to go for walks (he won't poop otherwise) and Nina was never walked on a leash before I got her-shes coming along well!
