what breed of dog did u get ? - Page 3 - YorkieTalk.com Forums

Marilize · 06-03-2009, 01:08 AM

My first dog is a yorkie, Cash, and I plan to start a breeding program in the future, so I will always have yorkies. I just love the breed! And a major plus is: I am not allergic to them. I had honestly thought that I would never find a dog that I am not allergic to. Just this weekend, I was sitting next to my parents' staffies and I got asthma after fifteen minutes. So, I am ecstatic that I can have yorkies!

But, I would like to get a sheltie, an australian shepherd or a golden retriever, but only at a time in the future when someone else can also give the dog cuddles. I can't touch some dogs without having an asthma reaction, so someone would need to cuddle the dog, but I would love to get one!

Stuck on Yorkies!!

I'd have to say i'd like a shih tzu, papillion, or long haired chiuahua (SP?) (only prob w/ them is they shed...) I was VERY close to getting a papillion when i got my yorkie but the pap puppies just didnt really spark my interest. the parents were out of control when i showed up and i couldnt pull myself to decide right then. The next day i went to see honey and i fell in love w/ her mother and tried to get her instead :P and THEN i see the pups and wanted em all!!! but i just got one (darn!) anyway... i'm a huge anti shedding dog person. I can barely stand myself! my hair is ALWAYS falling out. But with a dog that sheds as much as me would drive me bonkers :O So that's why i'd try to convince the DH into getting a shih tzu. He kinda likes the mini dobermans BUT.... i like furry doggies lol so who knows what we will get next, maybe another yorkie

hopefully the blonde ones, i just LOVE the colour of them!!!!

Had a border collie and still miss her

but after her I got Ivy then Max I will stay with a small dog, more then likely another yorkie

I went from a boxer to a yorkie.

They are best buds!

BLowry · 06-03-2009, 05:08 AM

growing up as a child we ALWAYS had a dog...most of the time 2 at a time...growing up we had "mutts". "My" first dog I bought was a cocker spaniel, then I got a golden, then an irish setter, then a mix, then a cross, then another cross, then I got my yorkies...I love all breeds of dogs but now that I am older the smaller ones are easier to handle...they don't pull your shoulder out of the socket when you are walking them!! LOL. I will probably always own a smaller dog now...There are several small breeds that I would love to own.

We got a black Peekapoo Harley Man. He was 8 weeks,and he and Aiden are best buds. They do everything together...good and bad. They knock down garbage cans,chew all my shoes, play,sleep,bark,eat,bathe, sleep,ride on daddy scooter,go to play dates,dog parks....well you get the picture!!!

CouversMom · 06-03-2009, 08:30 AM

When I was born, my family had a lab mix. She was the sweetest thing. Then we got a dalmation (NEVER again), and when the lab passed we got a shih-tzu (who became 'my' dog). After that, my mom wanted a dog of her own, so she got a second shih-tzu.

My first real dog was Couver. I plan on getting at least one more when we get a house! I've fallen in love with the breed!

Edie, my Yorkie is my first dog. We adopted a Westie a few years ago. She and Edie are the same age, and they have become the TEAM OF TERROR. They are so funny together.

Sandysbabies · 06-03-2009, 12:37 PM

We have Tina, a toy schnauzer that is the same size as our yorkie, Kayla. We have a yr. old mini schnauzer named Lexi that is Kayla's bud. Sunday we are getting Dudley a 13week old yorkie. Adorable! Can't wait. And before all this brude we have had just schnauzers and a doxie.

Lia · 06-03-2009, 01:20 PM

When I was 10 I had 2 siberian huskies. Sadly we had to give them away because we moved out of the country and could not take them with us. Then I got my yorkie 2 yrs ago, after that my husband convinced me to get our Boxer in February of this year, then 2 wks ago we got our Bella (another yorkie)! I love my puppies but I would like to stick to small dogs. Big dogs make bigger messes in every way!

But I do love my Boxer.

I have really bad allergies too and was so excited when I found out that Yorkies are great for ppl with allergies. I thought for the longest time I wouldn't be able to have a dog again. So as for me I think I'll probably stick to Yorkies, although I would love to have a Maltese

MeAndMyOlivia · 06-04-2009, 08:24 AM

We had a couple of goldens while my kids were growing up; "my" first dog was a little schnauzer mix, Toby. After he died, I got my little yorkie Olivia...she died 4 weeks ago today.

But now I have a maltese, Gracie; she's only 10 months so hopefully I will have her for many years.

I got a mi-ki and she is wonderful!! Mi-Ki Information and Pictures, Mi-Kis, Mi-Ki Puppies, Mi-Ki Photos, , Miki

Through the years I always had min poodles and when the last one passed on I decided to get a yorkie. I had my little Chipper for 13 years and when he was gone I missed him so much. I just really missed the yorkie personality and knew that would be the only other dog that I would want. I now have Piper and though she is totally different than Chipper she has that Personality and Spunk that I just love in the yorkie breed.
