YT 1000 Club Member | I'm so torn.... So I'm due to pick up my pup this Wednesday and went by my breeders home to visit the female pup second pic below I put my deposit on. The problem is....I saw her brother the first picture below and I fell head over heels. He's feisty, spunky, and just ran to me and gave me kisses whereas his sister just sat back and looked at me after greeting me...I guess you could say she's "aloof" with me now....I don't know what to do y'all!!!! My breeder just looked at me and said why don't you take both? And you guys I swear I would, but my husband would probably move out hehehe. So what should I do? My breeder told me she'll hold on to the male til Weds because if I want him she'd rather I have him than someone else because other perspective buyers just rubbed her the wrong way and he's really small. I always said I wanted a female but know I'm all confused . I would like anyone's advice as what to do. Having a pet is a lifetime commitment and I don't want to make the wrong decision....I bet my breeder is having a good laugh at me right now *shaking fist in the air* |

| Why do you need both? Go with your heart and grab up that little male! I think your heart is telling you something. You obviously have a better connection, I would put sex on the back burner.

| I too wanted a female but fate had different plans haha. I saw this add with this little male that this girl was selling, because she said her bigger dog was beating up on it. I just knew I had to go save him, and thankfully I did because the truth was once I went straight to the vet with him, that he was going into a hypoglycemic coma and was ready to die. I am so in love with him now, I think my husband might be a little jealous hehehe. He has the sweetest personality ever and is a total goof ball, and I know I completely did the right thing by going with my heart. He is going to be my lifelong friend :-) I say follow your heart, you won't regret it xoxo |

| Well I will give you my experience in this. I like yourself wanted a girl. However I fell in love with a boy. 6 years later we have such an amazing bond. We get closer and closer each day. He is everything I wanted and more. I say you pick what your heart tells you. I will say something made him go up to you and give you kisses.. so I’m pretty sure HE picked you. If it were me, I would be taking that sweet boy. Can you go back and have another visit? All you can do is pick the one you have that special connection with. If it is meant to be, you will have a special connection, and you will know without a doubt which one is yours.

| I was looking for a female Yorkie when I came across Max's picture and knew he was the one. We brought home his brother a year later. Wishing you the best in making your decision.

YT 500 Club Member | If you can afford it just get both of them. Lots of people on here get one and then just a little later they add the second one it would just be like raising twins twice the fun and of course twice the work. |

YT 1000 Club Member | @MistyM I've had nothing but female pups growing up so I think I just got used to the idea of whenever I went searching for a yorkie pup it would be a female also....I agree this little man came up to me for a reason and that the breeder held onto him for that very same reason. I go back this Weds morning to make my final decision...the breeder told me she won't sell him til I absolutely say "No". She wants me to think it over and have no regrets/second thoughts. How great and patient of her is that?! |

| Well, I have a different story to tell....when I picked my little Yoda... He seemed shy ....on the other hand his little sister had a darling outgoing personality, and we made a connection instantly... But alas she was spoken for... So I took little Yoda home and he blossomed... No right away....h we have an awesome connection...sometimes I think of his sister but....I have no regrets... I agree with everyone here go with your heart..

| Go get your little boy! When I was looking for my baby, I swore I just wanted a boy... I saw Billi's picture tho and she changed the game for us! When it's love, it's love and it sounds like you found it with the little guy!

| Sex aside, it seems you should go with the one you connected with and vice-versa!! We got our first yorkie almost 2 years ago - a boy. He's feisty (uh, sometimes obnoxiously so), super sweet, smart, loyal and loving. ADORE him. Love him so much when we went looking for yorkie #2, we had our hearts set on another boy. We found another loving, even more sweet little rescue guy. My family is SO happy we have boys, our experience with them has been great. |
