Yes, I think guys tend to not be soooooo girlie with their yorkies. I also think it would be a stroke of genius for a guy to get a yorkie..if you are looking for a girlfriend.....yorkies are girl magnets!!!!!

I completely agree my fiance' will take George with him places and women are all over him because he has George. This weekend I am going out of town and he is already saying that George will be his Chick magnet (he knows his limits of course) :D . So I think it would be in your best interest to get a Yorkie :D

My hubby loves our little yorkies just as much as I do. I also have human boys and they love them too. My youngest is 18 (6'2" hockeyplayer) he takes out Cheyenne all the time and the girls are all over him. His girlfriend does not like it!!! I will admit, my hubby and boys have never liked little dogs before, and I usually always went for the large dogs until we got these little yorkies. They just steal your heart!

He took Cricket to PetSmart and he said the women flocked to him!! I said that would be enough of that.
Yorkies are for everyone!!


LOL at "I said that would be enought of that"....too funny! You're right..Yorkies are for everyone...they're TERRIERS! (

Would a man (single, straight) look weird or feminine with a yorkie as a pet?

Thanks for any input. I'm just curious of what you guys/gals think.

This reminds me so much of a commercial that has been on recently. This big, burly guy is walking by a pet store and stops to admire a little pom. he is goo-gooing and baby talking the little pom. They he glances around and sees this huge guy watching him and shaking his head and laughing. Immediately, the first guy steps over to the next window where this big lab is standing and starts talking to him in a deep man's voice. I know lots of real men that have little dogs. My hubby has a pug and is wild about him. His best friend has a mini dach and is also wild over his little dogs. I see men out all the time with their tiny babies and i don't even think about it.

I was married in 1961. Coming up on 45 years with the greatest guy in the world. He helped around the house and with the kids back in the 60's when it wasn't the "in" thing to do. He took his little daughters everywhere in their frilly little dresses. He cooked, cleaned house and changed diapers when most men thought that was women's work. He treats me special because to him I am special.


He loves our little 5 lb Yorkie and even likes the frilly little bows I put in her hair. You should hear him talk baby talk to her.

My husband has always been very confident in his "Manhood" He is very much a virile man and knows it and knows he doesn't have to prove it to anyone.

If you want a Yorkie, I say "go for it". If anyone judges you by your choice in dogs, they are the one with the problem.

I don't think that yorkies are just a woman's dog. I know that I've seen some pretty hot single guys that had yorkies they would take for walks. That's like saying that a Rottie is just a man's dog. However, I do think that MAYBE some single men would choose a yorkie as a chick magnet! ;)

One piece of VERY important info is to follow...









Chicks dig yorkies!

For any guy that HAS to have a big dog to convey his masculanity I can only think of one thing.... What exactly are they trying to make up for size wise? ;)

Oh yeah I forgot to mention this because most people here know this. I have a very strict no cute bow (ok no bow period, cuet or not), frilly cloaths rule with my little girl!


I love it!!!! LOL :D

I don't know. My mom and I have Yorkies, but sometimes I think Mom and I are just a cover so my dad and husband can have Yorkies. Both men are diet police on the dogs' food. Every bite has to be just so. And both men worry about the dogs getting bored and include them in things that they probably would be happier missing and staying home sleeping in their own favorite nap spots. A couple of big softies.

i think both
 
my husband wants to get more yorkies and so do i but we make disisions together.

Gingergirlsmom 03-17-2006 01:28 PM

my husband frowns at the bows, but secretly, I think he's likes 'em. :)

Winston's Mom 03-17-2006 02:01 PM

My husband didn't want a dog especially a little Yorkie. It took me 12 years of begging for a Yorkie. You should see him now with Winston. He's the one that goes home everyday to let his boy out and then they have quality time(father son bonding). Everything is Daddy this, Daddy that. I never thought I'd see him this way. He is just so crazy about our boy.

We went to Hendersonville this past weekend. My husband and my friend's husband would keep Winston with them on the street benches when I go in the stores. They had a grand old time all day. Major magnet to passersby.

You don't get more macho than Bruce Willis and his dog Wolfie is a Yorkie..And yes he even has floppy ears.

susansmom 03-17-2006 07:18 PM

I think we're forgetting something -- does a Yorkie consider itself a woman's dog? No way! A Yorkie is a doberman, a rottweiller, a German shepherd, whatever really buff dog you can think of -- only in disguise. Just ask a Yorkie. They're just smart and have figured out that they catch more flies (and soft seats, tasty treats and general snuggles) with cuteness than with brawn. Good disguise, huh?

TXGirl 03-17-2006 07:47 PM

My husband is very much a "manly" man, but he has told me over and over how happy he is that I decided on a yorkie. He loves our little Gracie sooo much, and boy does she have him wrapped around her little paw... :)
