OP, good luck in your search, I think researching the breeds is one of the best parts of bringing a new furkid into your home. (At least I did before I settled on yorkies as the one and only breed for me)

Thanks I knew I saw it somewhere but just couldn't remember..

Take a Chance and get a Yorkie - you'll NEVER regret it.

I have had many pets, but nothing like my Yorkie, also have you thought about Carin Terriers? I love the name Troy, have never known a dog named that.

I dont know about names but I would get a yorkie. They are the cutest of the dogs you have mentioned

And what do you think Yorkies are?! Hahahaha.

I adore adore adore Yorkies. I think two Yorkies would be the best!

I'm not sure if you all realize this, but she already has another Yorkie. She's looking for a companion for her Sal.

I LOVE the name Elliot!!!! That is sooooo adorable...

I would go for the Yorkie. My chewy loves to walk, and we were going for an hour walk a day before it got cold here... But Yorkies don't NEED all that exercise. They like it but can do with out it.
I love westies and almost thought I wanted one until I read you must have a fenced in back yard and let them RUN RUN RUN!!! We have no fence and tons of coyotes....

So the yorkie was what we got and I love both mine to death....

I would get a Yorkie.... I think they are the best! But coming here on Yorkie Talk, you might get that answer from people

My yorkie is very social, excellent with children and everyone that comes in the house falls in love with her... even the dog hater in my family have accepted her!

They are tiny, cute, clean, social, they love exercise and can go without it. YOu can carry it everywhere more easily.... Also, they are cuddler but can be independant

I personnaly don't like Shnauzer. All the ones I know, and even a giant snauzer tend to bark a lot, are boring or yet not appealing. I have never come to be attach to a snauzer. But this is my own opinion. I know some people think Yorkies are small yappers that are stupid. I love the mix poodle and black lab... they are so cute

My oncle taught like that of small dogs, but he is very impress with Bikini. She is 9 months, she is housetrain to go outside and on a pipi pad. She pees on command almost. She sits, laydown, turn around, stay and come already. The only problem with her is when people arrive, she is so excited that she can be anoying. She doesn't bark a lot. Just once in a while (sometimes with sounds on tv.)

Anyway, names are very personal I think!

From what I can see schnauzers can be destructive chewers !! I have a Maltese and a Yorkie but If I were to get another, it would be another yorkie. As far as names, I always think when you see the dog you know whats its name was meant to be. My maltese is Lucy after the wonderful Lucille Ball !!! Her fiery and funny attitude is the reason I called her Lucy. My yorkie came with a name , its Cooper, but If I had to choose a name for him it would have been Bruno !!! Just because such a little dog deserved a mighty name !!!

Cathi · 03-24-2008, 12:57 PM
