My first yorkie, Katie, picked me! Went to the breeders home, she had 2 females left and had them both sitting on the couch. When I sat down, one of them ran over and was extremely playful and wanting all my attention. The other one looked up at me with the sadest of eyes as if to say, "I'm not as playful as my sister but that doesn't mean I won't love you less." That did it for me - I chose the "calm" one with the sad eyes because she just "grabbed" my heart - never ever regretted the decision - had her for 8 1/2 wonderful years
Gabby came from a breeder and was the only female born in a litter of 3 so it was really a no brainer - I wanted a female, had first pick, so she came home to me! And Gage was a rescue and as Mike said, the only choice was yes or no - could NOT say no to such a sweet face and he HAD to get out of the conditions he was living in - so off he came to live with me
