They made me realize I was capable of moving on so there is no other choice for me, just a Yorkie. All weekend I had to study and he snuggled his little butt right in beside me while I read.

I took his little face and said you just don't know how much your mummy loves you.
My friends would beat me with a very large stick if they saw how sappy I get when he gives me cuddles and snuggles

I'm with you... I love everything about the Yorkie and not sure another breed would fit into a mold I have now made in my mind of the perfect dog. OK, my yorkies aren't perfect but they are the next best thing to it!

I had Bernese Mountain Dogs in Germany. My husband wanted a German Shepard. Our house is too small for a big dog, wouldn't be fair.
A co-worker has a Lhasa Apso and I really liked that breed. But then I saw Merlin and there was no question. We are very happy with him.

If I couldn't have a yorkie, I would have a Russian Tsvetnaya Bolonka or a Havanese. I have recently fallen in love with the Tibetan Mastiff, and hopefully someday I will have a bigger house and yard to be able to get one.

I have a schoodle. He has the best temperment and is sooo smart. He has the body type of a schnauzer and the white curly hair of a poodle. Hes 16 lbs at 3 years old. and the best thing is that schnauzers abd poodles from what I hear are almost shed free and mine hardly ever sheds. and his coat hardly needs any grooming due to the medium wavy length and I don't think hes ever had a tangle or a matt. They are great dogs. If I didnt get a yorkie this time I would have went for another schnoodle or a schnauzer.

I have 3 chis, Cinnamon rules the house . She is my red brindle.Batista is my male a chocolate and white brindle, Then their is Peyton my long haired who looks like a very tiny collie. Then for my birthday my husband got me a maltese who is 6 months old very loveable and all baby. I have wanted a yorkie for a long time but because of the price I thought i would never get one. Then 2 weeks ago some one was giving one away he is 8 months old nuetered and in excellent health. A little larger than i may of wanted at first but he fits right in. He is 8.5lbs she gave me his papers and every thing.He was gotten for their children for all 3 of them begged for him he was to be their responibalty they did well the first week because he was only 8 weeks old.Were told repeatedly that he was leaving if they did not take over his care. She said the poor dog lived in his cage xcept to go potty. So that is how i aquired Gage very beautiful boy in deed. Since he and my maltese are with in a month of age of each other they are best buds. By the way my maltese is Gracie Shay. Sorry to ramble on but my family is complete I have all the breeds I have always wanted. So I have my own little parade of dogs Love each and every one for who they are.

I wanted a black pug before I got Poppy, or a french bulldog.
Now I have Poppy I know I made the right choice.

desaree · 10-14-2010, 08:13 AM

I love my Yorkie, but my 2nd choice would have to be a cocker spaniel.

CJxDanielle · 10-14-2010, 01:02 PM

Hmmm, either a small shelter dog, chihuahua, a Tibetan terrier or a dachshund

Sammy Mommy · 10-14-2010, 02:43 PM

I had a beagle for 14 1/2 years. He was so good. Then I got my Yorkie. I didn't know if I wanted a Jack Russell or a Yorkie but I'm so glad I have my sweet baby boy Yorkie. He's 12 and has some health concerns but he is still mischievous (spelling?) and he's the love of my life.

I was just curious if you saw any similarities between beagles and yorkies? Growing up, my beagle was very mischevious and when she was mad, vengeful

In the past I've had Great Danes, Dobermans, Rottweilers and a really nice Australian Shepherd.

Granted I've enjoyed them all, but I really am partial to my Yorkie I have now. He fits in the limited space we have, can go almost everywhere with us, and has a very pleasing personality that makes him enjoyable to have around. I'd probably have still wound up with a yorkie no matter what.
