We have two Yorkies and one Akita-German Shepard (Luc). We've had Luc for a very long time and I tell you, the two little ones are sooooo much easier to take care of than Luc. We love our big pup, but the difference between the two is significant. Luc has to be taken to the groomers, because it's a challenge to give him a bath in the tub. He also needs his long hair cut. His grooming is pricey. Not to mention getting the kids to pick up his dog poop!!
With Luc, we're on a time schedule to make sure he's not in his crate too long.
Our two Yorkies are much easier to take care of. I can bathe them both in the sink or in our tub. I learned how to cut their hair, which cuts down on the cost. I comb their hair every day, which doesn't take long. If I need to go anywhere and can't take them, they stay in their play pen. Plus the cost of food is cheaper than Luc's food!!
What I dislike about them? Well, my one 7mo. old is potty-trained-challenged. But we're working on it
We are extremely happy with our two Yorkies and we are actually getting another one after Thanksgiving. Hope you decide to get one too
