I'm not sure exactly why I wanted a girl yorkie. We have had Lexi for the past 7 years and she really took to my Dad as well as my brother and other males. She likes females it just seems like she attaches more to males. She may have attached to my Dad because he was the one who was always home with her when she was young once he got home from work. I was always on the run as I was in high school at the time we got her. I guess I wanted to get another girl because I really wanted to dress her up in cute little clothes and put bows in her hair and get cute little things in pink. Lexi is our family dog and never liked to have clothes on or bows in her hair. I guess we probably should have put them on her more as a puppy. Emmie is actually my full responsibility. She was a graduation present from my boyfriend. So I will be the one who takes the most care for her. My boyfriends mom has a boy and it seems like he really attaches more to females. Either one would be great!! No matter if you get a female or male it will attach the most to who ever takes care of it and spends the most time with it. Good luck with your decision. You will absolutely love your puppy. They are just precious little babies. Hope this helps.
