I never went with the dog trend either. I just love yorkies because they are so cute and just fell in love. Before I even had a dog, in 4th grade we had a hw assignment to write about something we wanted and I wrote I wanted either a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel or a Yorkshire Terrier. Those are the only 2 dogs that appealed to me and that I wanted the most. Well I got my King Charles in 5th grade and I loved him. He's gone now but I have my first yorkie Teddy and he's my love.
I was also in the dalmation wanting phase but I didn't want one THAT badly.
