| Hi - I'm the one who's not a cartoonist... My name is Bruce, and two months ago - along with my friend Jim George - we started posting one cartoon a day at DrawtheDog.com. I'm writing now to introduce myself and ask for your help. Our daily cartoons are black and white, but every Saturday we post a full color cartoon that captures the essence of a breed. In a few weeks, we want to feature a Yorkie, but first we need your input. Here are some examples of what Jim has done for other breeds. Notice - I hope - how the pose captures the spirit and personality of that breed: Lab: Lab - a full color Draw the Dog cartoon inspired by hundreds of Lab stories Golden: Golden - a full color Draw the Dog cartoon inspired by 194 Golden Retriever tales (approximately) Dane: Dane - a full color Draw the Dog cartoon inspired by hundreds of Dane stories GSD: GSD - a full color Draw the Dog cartoon inspired by countless German Shepherd stories It would be great if you could share your suggestions and photos here. I'll be watching every post, and will be happy to answer any questions you may have. What we really need to know is: what makes Yorkies different than other dogs? When you stop by don't miss these two Yorkie cartoons: Yorkies - a Draw the Dog cartoon inspired by Yorkies and Yankees Good Boy -a Draw the Dog inspired by Jesse and Benji of Boca Raton, FL |

| School's in Session I have five Yorkies, some short hair, some long, boys and girls. I have what I call school everyday with them. This is when I teach them tricks using cheerios. Yorkies love to learn and please their master. As you can see from these photos I have thier undivided attention! I love the drawings, especially the one about give the man back his wallet, keys, too funny!

| I think that the Yorkie should be sitting with the head in the oh so familiar "Yorkie tilt" listening intently with those intelligent big brown eyes, to what we say because they really do understand us! Donna

| Possible drawing Everytime I make Pot Roast in the slow cooker I have this vision of my five yorkies, one standing on top of another (stacked in their various sizes, large to small) in order to reach the kitchen cabinet and serve up the pot roast while mommy & daddy are at work. I can just picture them, "more carrots for me", "how about some gravy on that potatoe".......

| This is great! More questions... Thanks for all the feedback. Here are some stoopid questions, but we want to get this perfect: 1.) Can you point me towards photos of the "famous Yorkie head tilt"? 2.) Also, can you tell me about the different types of Yorkies, and can everyone weigh in about which one(s) should be included? With Dobermans, which debuts on Saturday, we included two Dobermans, one with natural ears and one with cropped. Thanks... |

Banning Thread Dictator Donating Member | Dude, you guys are good. I think the examples you posted really do capture those breeds' spirit well. But, wow, how do you capture a Yorkie's personality? Their "show" look is long, silky hair, expertly manicured with a bow in their hair. I've heard that the best show Yorkies strut in the ring, they are so proud. You'd might check American Kennel Club - Yorkshire Terrier for the breed standard on coloring, etc. But most of us with pet quality Yorkies see a different side to them. These guys were bred to chase and kill rats, so Yorkies are ALL DOG. I think all of us at one time or another have described them as "a big dog trapped in a little dog's body." They are smart, they are curious, and they always seem to be getting into something. They can dig, they can chew, and it's almost as though they knowingly do those things just to mess with you. I think a pose that would strike a chord with many Yorkie owners would be to have the long-haired show Yorkie, but somehow show the precocious side. Like the hair being intentionally mussed up, maybe even drastically so. Maybe standing on or chewing the bow that it ripped from its own hair. Or another idea, shredding a first-place ribbon that it won in a show. The head tilt idea fits into that theme because the look is a very piercing, perplexed look, like "Hmm, this behavior bothers you?" Good luck, I'm dying to see what you guys come up with. I'll go searching for head tilt pictures and post here soon if no one else has.

Gracie Ruth learned early in life that the 'head-tilt' will get you out of nearly any type of trouble. It's one of her best weapons.

| I am not sure you will be able to get all of the personalities into one yorkie.. and as you have noticed, most have more than one... Maybe many different looking ones and personalities peeking through and around the name??
