What is it about a Yorkie?
 

What is it about a Yorkie that makes your heart go awwwwwwwww? :)

My friend and I were talking about this the other day. We had heard some Yorkies were going to need new homes. She decides she will take them in until good homes can be found. Which made us think....why do we do anything we can for these sweet babies?

So what do you think it is? What is it about a Yorkie that makes you go awwwww. :)

They are absolutely brilliant, confident, independent, loving :love:, loyal & adventurous :animal37 all packaged in one adorable creation :luvu:

Plus that little face has you from day one...

They love unconditionally, give the absolute best good morning and welcome home kisses, and (all things considered) are so much easier to train than our significant others and our children :) hahaha

I think for me part of the appeal is that Chloe will forever be my baby. I can hold her in my arms and even find myself swaying as I did when holding my children when they were infants. As my children grow more and more independent they need me less, of course that is the goal of a mother but I find myself missing being needed. Yorkies are clever and sweet with adorable little faces just like my girls were when they were tiny. Yorkies need to be groomed daily have their teeth brushed and they (or at least my little Chloe) need a great deal of attention and thrive on being nurtured.

I have another dog that I love dearly but (in spite of feeling guilty) not even close to the way that I love Chloe. I truly didn't believe that it was possible to love a dog the way I love Chloe. So I have actually thought about why Chloe has had this affect on me and I guess it boils down to my need to care for a little one that needs me the way that Chloe does.

Those big brown eyes can make you melt. I don't know what it is about them, but I'm powerless when I see those big brown eyes.

I completely agree with all of you. It's just the sweetness in the eyes...the spunk in the walk...the forever love and faithfulness they offer! They are one of a kind!!!

Awwwww, I love this! :) I couldn't agree with all of you more. I think they are are babies. :D Rosie is my sweet little girl. She whines when she wants me to hold her. She looks at me with so much love in her eyes. And then there is Mikki who loves her belly rubbed. She will paw at you until you do it. Then look at you sweetly with her little tongue sticking out. How can you not love them?

What's not to love about them. From their melty chocolate brown eyes to their furry little butts, they are the bundles love, fun and little best friends one could ever ask for. :)

I think our Yorkies bring out the most loving and protective Mama spirit in us. And this despite some of our Yorkies clearly wanting and being big dogs in little bodies. And I love that about them. Their intrepid spirit, spunk, loving nature, curiousty, active nature just really really appeals to me.

I love my Razz dearly. But I will say, my heart dog is my Magic. We are incredibly bonded, with a more (in my mind) equal type of relationship. The protection is a much more equal kind of thing. Magic is a big boy, with a huge guarding instinct in him. I feel very safe when I walk Magic. When I walk RAzz, I do feel much more the protector.

Don't get me wrong, I also protect Magic too; but if push were to come to shove; I can let Magic off lead, or drop the lead; and he can hold his own against almost anyone or thing. Razzle I would pick up immediately and try to keep out of harm's way. The way I protect Magic, is to not lead him into "dangerous situations", to be forthright if some-one's elses dogs is being the aggressor to him. This has happened more times than I care to recall.

However this is a thread about Yorkies. I will and could never see my life now, without a wonderful little Yorkie in it.

No other dog has that cute wiggle butt walk like a Yorkie!! :D

This is pretty much exactly how I feel. Sugar came to me when I deeply needed to be needed again (kids going away to school). She fills every void I have :D

Of course, there is always the wiggle butt :D:D:D

Same here. My baby is 14 now. He don't want to be babied by me. :( But Rosie loves for me to baby her. Mikki is more of a daddy\'s girl. :D

It is everything about a Yorkie that melts your heart! :hearts6: Absolutely everything! :luvu: I\'ve had lots of different breeds and mixes of dogs and cats and loved them all..some were my heartbeats, too, but Yorkies are like the perfect mix of everything all rolled up into a portable little cuddly body you just want to hold onto and take absolutely everywhere with you!
