Are there any men on YT that own yorkies? - Page 2 - YorkieTalk.com Forums

I would not have Jeter if my husband and 4 boy's thought that Yorkies were too girly of a dog to have. Beings the only girl in my house they could of overruled the decision on what breed we went with but they do not feel that way thank God! They know that Yorkies are sweet loving dogs, my mom has 2 girl Yorkies and my husband fell in love with her oldest one names Nellee.

When we got Jeter my husband had to stop in at the Speedway gas station to show his friend our new puppy. He also took him into the hardware store once when I was out to lunch when Jeter was a puppy because he did not want to leave him by himself. I had not taken him to any stores yet myself and he beat me to doing it LOL! He will proudly carry Jeter on his daily walk around downtown when he gets pooped out too. Jeter might be MY puppy, but he sure is a daddy'd boy too!

I'm married to a big muscular guy and he LOVES Murfee. They go "hunting" together (walks) and Richard brags about how smart Murfee is and how good his hearing is. I think he talks about Murf more than I do.

I swear my husband is the most total push over for our babies! He wont go to bed without one in it with him! He proudly walk around with the little girl all dressed up in her pink dress and bow and jewelry.

Handsome men + cute dogs... I'm lovin' this thread!!

Doesn't bother my husband that we have two fluffy little dogs. They go everywhere with us, even strapped in a car seat in the back of his jeep. We have a 30 year old umarried son who calls them his "chic magnet". Says everytime he keeps them and takes them for a walk, the women come from everywhere. I was in the bank a few weeks ago standing in line, had Barkley, my newest one. When the girls behind the counter saw him they came out from behind the counter and wanted to hold and kiss on him. When they went back, a very nice looking, 25ish young man punched me on the shoulder, and said "Where can I get one of those." Everyone in the bank just cracked up. No shame from my men for loving fluffy little dogs.

I send hubby pictures of Little Man when he's at work, he goes and shows his buddies his "son". They all use to laugh at him and make fun of him, but then he told them "you can make fun of me all you want it don't bother me, but if that little doggie makes my wife happy, then I'm happy." They quit making fun of him and now they ask him if I've sent any pictures of Little Man yet. LOL!

Little Man knows when his daddy gets home from work it's playtime for a little while. So, he climbs up in hubby's lap and gives him kisses and then its playtime. Whether they play tug of war, fetch, or just playing video games, it's "daddy and me time" for them.

When I take Joey to Home Depot, he gets so much attention from great big "macho men." I think the more confident you are in yourself, the more you can do things to please yourself, and with age, you will learn, other's opinions shouldn't affect who you are, although it sounds like you have already learned this.

I don't own my yorkie as a reflection of my image (I may dress him as a reflection of me, some skulls here and there.lol

) but because I love the breed and I have enough confidence to say "I'm a man I own a yorkie and i'm proud of it". THEY'RE WONDERFUL!

Let me also add, as a male who has a yorkie son, pooh on those who would stereotype anyone!!

We have Yorkies, Shih Tzu's and a Lab. My hubby was recently in intensive care and was sedated. When he was conscious the dog he asked about was NINA. He cried and took it harder than me when our late Nikki was put down. We sleep with several dogs on our bed, he insists on ALL of them being there. I commend all men who have toys dogs and are here on YT. We are here for the love of the Yorkie..aren't we?? I AM!
