to fill a void we got yogurt in hopes of him filling the giant emptiness in our lives when dad left. my mom was really against getting him, but i went ahead anyways because of mom's pessimistic tendencies. i wanted something yappy, needy, full of life at the same time could be a couch potato. what better than a yorkie! --- i had a shi-tzu when i was little. he was really arrogant and independent. he would only come to me when HE feels like it. now yogurt's become such a center piece in our family :D my mom doesnt know much about taking care of dogs. she's been taking care of yogurt like an enfant.:eek: she has a chart of his weekly weights (yes she weighs him once a week) she gets into panic mode when his weight drops but when he is actually sick, shes clueless....just like when yogurt lost his hair on his nose ridge due to leather ear she thought he was just balding prematurely :eek:!! |
It was their 'look' that first inspired me to research the breed and then after reading all about them I decided they were the perfect dogs for us, small, energetic, full of personality, and non-shedding. After one I was hooked, and have just added another....I love my them both so much xxx xx |
We have always had loads of pets, from rabbits, hamsters, snakes, parrots, parakeets, cats and dogs and when I went to university, I stayed in a res for 2 years. Obviously I couldn't have a pet in the res, but I missed having something to cuddle so much. Then a friend told me about hypo-allergenic dogs and from then on, I spent my spare time doing research and daydreaming. I wanted to get the perfect dog for when I moved out of res. Well, I did!! I got Cash and now (two years later) I have June as well. Yorkies are just so cute, all different personalities and they are really difficult NOT to love;) I wouldn't change a thing! |
I was attracted to the Yorkshire Terrier breed, because I think they are one of the prettiest toy dog breeds. I like their color and long flowing hair. In addition, I wanted a small dog I could pamper and lay on my lap like my Shih Tzu. Yorkies are one of the breeds you can dress up with cute outfits and beautiful bows. I like their spunky personality. My Yorkie is a perfect companion for my Shih Tzu and me. He plays fetch and likes learning new tricks. My Yorkie and Shih Tzu are two sweet dogs that follow me around my house and give me many kisses. |
:animal-paI tell everyone that a Yorkie is the best anti-depressent there is. I have a dear friend who lost her husband and her two Yorkies she told me helped her through it. Anyway I retired last year to care for my father who was dying from dementia and when he passed I went into deep depression. My DH decided for me it was time I got a puppy. I had poms while raising my children but had said when the last one passed I would not get another until I retired. That being said I thought of my friend and her Yorkies. Hers were such little dolls so I told DH I wanted a Yorkie and here I am today. Over my depression (well most all of it) and so blissfully happy with my little guy. And I have to say this thanks so much YT members you have all been wonderful here and surfing this site has helped tremendously to take my mind off of other life issues. I love Yorkies and YT.:rolleyes: :doghouse:Charlene:animal-paLaddy's Mama:doghouse::bunnysmiley3:Have a Wonderful Easter:eggs: |
I don't really know, honestly. I've always been an animal lover and we've always had dogs and cats in our houses growing up (among guinea pigs, hamsters, etc) But suddenly, I decided I wanted my OWN dog. I researched a few different options and breeds but I was semi-limited as my step-dad is allergic and I still live at home while in college. So I need a little shedding dogs. Yorkies seemed like the best! I couldn't be happier with my decision. I love the little guy. |
Y- your faithful friend O- obedient R- ribbons for hair K- king of the house I- intelligent E- endless fun Yorkies leave paw prints on our hearts:Pawprint: |
I just loved their overall appearance, their winning attitude/temperament, their gorgeous liquid eyes and their beautiful hair. The fact that they don't have that doggy odor nor shed hair was also a plus. Plus, they are so loving and lovable. :love: |
:animal36 Their dazzleing beauty is to die for Betty & Micah my love:aimeeyork |
I have always loved toy dogs, but I fell in love with the yorkie a few years ago after doing some research and matching my personality with the breed. I wanted a dog that was needy and would be there for me no matter what. I love the fact that they are so portable and do so well with everything! Couver is my best friend and constant tag along. I would not change anything about him! |
I had never really thought about owning a yorkie. My husband and I always had BIG dogs. Well after they passed away we decided to downsize and get a smaller breed. My mom had a yorkie so I knew about the yorkie breed. We now have 2 and I love them.. |
I am fully disabled and was allowed to bring home a service dog. I started doing research on specific toy breeds. We live in an apt. complex and needed a perfect match for my son and I whi is also disabled. He is a teenager. I had it narrowed down to a Shih Tzu or a Yorkie. I had not ever owned a puppy on my own before. This was going to be a new experience. i felt confident though, because I am home 24/7. I kept going back to the yorkie puppies and pictures of them all of them and adult pictures. That is how I decided I was going to bring a yorkie home to our family. The first time i ever saw A Yorkie puppy, I instantly was in love. I could not believe how precious a yorkie was in real life. How amazing and beautiful a Yorkie is :) It was love at first sight. From that very first second, I was Hooked, forever! ;) |
I think the fact that they don't shed was a real selling point for me.....:thumbup: |
I have always loved their look and have wanted one since I was in my early 20's (now early 40's). We have one adult child moved out, and 2 at home but in college so they are never hear. I finally decided now was the time since I was going through "almost" empty nest syndrome and I could take advance of my daughter's school schedule to help house break since I work all day. It has worked out perfectly for that since they are not here longer than maybe a couple of hours by themselves and this has helped with housebreaking. My DH hated small dogs and really wanted nothing to do with the caring of them at first. Now he is totally a yorkie man and loves these dogs more than me (well maybe almost more than me). |
:rolleyes: Yorkies...what's not to love. I have always wanted one since I was a little girl. I had 8 miscarriages, My kids were getting older and started to move out. It's actually cheaper to care for a yorkie than another baby. They really helped me get out of my funk! They're my best friends, my babies, my life long dream!:p |
