| How did you get your significant other (man) a yorkie lover? The other thread got me wondering how other people got their significant other (or mainly their husbands) to become a yorkie lover! These experiences or advices can probably help other people going through their current situation. |

| I got lucky with my husband because as soon as they came home he was in love. He was the one who started to put them on the bed with us |

I ♥ Joey & Ralphie! Donating Member | Because of a long illness with our last pet, my SO didn't want another pet. It took a couple of years of talking about it. I finally decided we had grieved long enough and started looking for a new pet. He was terribly against it, but they bonded instantly, and now I wished I hadn't waited so long. I think doing things together is the best way for men to bond. Taking the dog for a walk or a drive helps if someone actually needs help with this. I can't imagine anyone not bonding immediately though. I don't think a man that couldn't bond with a Yorkie would be a very good father to a human child, a man should be able to be protective of a Yorkie, and not need a macho dog to prove his manliness. Good test to weed out men, I think.

Actually my husband's family has this religion that believes dogs are bad luck to have around. But I guess they are too scared to say that to my face. His family has allot of respect for me because what I've done for them in the past so I couldn't care less if they don't like dogs. They will love mines because they love me. | |

| We had always had cats. I wanted a dog. My Husband wanted low maintenance dogs that arent barkers. He told me to research breeds. I fell in love with yorkies looks. I told him they were easy to train and arent barkers. Ha ha!!!!! To this day he reminds me of that as he listens to ours bark. He did fall in love with them though and it was his idea to get the 2nd one. I didnt have to do anything to get him to love them. He was hooked the first time he saw chachi very awkwardly (because of his young age)chasing after our Daughter

| i really think he was raised to look at them as property, not loved ones... i am going to work on him though I know he had a Mastiff, and i think a few other dogs.. he was wanting to raise rabbits, but says my cats keep that from happening.. |

| My Dh LOVES my girls, but I did do some things to help. When he comes home, I tell him that they were looking for him and missed him. I told him once that Zoeybear was sleeping on his dirty shirt while he was gone. I always tell him that Zoeybear is a "daddy's girl." It is all true, and he loves both my girls so much, but it doesn't hurt to "help" the process along sometimes.
