| I didn't want to add to the negativity but...I'm not sure what a Yorkie/rottweiler would look like but I feel like that isn't it. LOL Personally, I don't agree with you getting a rottweiler/yorkie just because you are unsure of your masculinity. There is nothing wrong with a grown man with a yorkie. I have a 3lb yorkie and my bf takes it out (even brings her to work) proudly! If you really don't want a tiny dog then I would look for a medium size breed and not one that's not so oddly mixed...if anyone told me they had a "Royorkies" or "Yorkweiler" I would look at them as if they were crazy lol...

You dont care for small dogs and a nine year old child is not really equipped to deal with the stubborness and difficulties a Yorkie's personality may present....they are hard to house train and it takes enormous patience and determination and diligence.....I am not sure this dog is anything you want......and it is not fair to get the dog and then get discouraged and frustrated and rehoming it again..... You need to get VERY familiar with personalities of any breed you are considering getting....you and a child are going to have to deal with this pet's personality traits....I know next to nothing about Rotties but I know they need a firm hand and firm control and training....not really recommended for an inexperienced dog owner or a child....and the very worse thing you can do is take a child to look at a puppy....you will be leaving there with that dog and I can almost promise it will be a major mistake.

YT 1000 Club Member | That particular puppy is not something I'd find cute *shrug* I'm a sucker for aesthetics. If a potential dog is basically for a 9 year old I wouldn't get it (I have a 6 year old). Most children do not understand the responsibility entailed with having a pet and since the pet will basically be your responsibility you should find breeds you wouldn't mind having. and not settle. My husband wanted a "manly" dog and I bought him an (English) Bulldog. Great with kids, people pleasers, lazy (perfect for the hubs), and just want to be with their owners. |

YT 1000 Club Member | Wow! I swear that is the same picture of a yorkie mix puppy on a local craigslist listing I saw here a couple months ago of a yorkie mix though that was for sale in NC. As far as if it is possible? When I was a teenager a friend of mine had a 100+ pound female lab and under 10 lb chihuahua. The lab when into heat and she laid down on the floor for the chihuahua to get to her and they had puppies a couple months later. I would not get that dog for a 9 year old girl. The dog will be primarily the dad's responsibility as she will forget to feed it and not want to take it outside. Believe me, I have 2 teenagers. They should get a dog they will both enjoy and I doubt this will be one. If it looks like a rott it will drool and slobber all over. I would keep looking for a better suited puppy to your situation if it were me. Good luck.

| Well as far as the combo, anything IS possible. I had a 9 mo old Golden retriever who got pregnant by my neighbors Jack Russel!! I was planning on having her spayed at 1 yr…..the JR got thru our fence and..well, you know. My dog was too young and had trouble. I took her to the vet and there were 10 puppies, but she was losing them. None survived. That was a sad event. She was too young to even know what was going on. As far as that puppy and paying for it. I actually did adopt my little Sunni, and ended up having quite a lot of expenses to pay for her, because I didn't know if she had been vaccinated, wormed etc. She's a perfectly lovely little puppy without papers, but she's a pet. I wasn't expecting a purebred, and don't know if she is or not. I wouldn't pay for a mixed breed dog just because they give them cute names. I love Shih Tzu's as much as Yorkies….trust me, the thought of how cute they are melts my heart..but I wouldn't even look at them because I wouldn't want to be tempted. Anyway, I've paid purebred prices for purebred dogs. I would not pay for a mix. I will pay to care for a mix. |

| I had cocker spaniels. I think that would be a good option for you guys. This mix is oddly cute and I guess needs a good home.

| I must be weird but I find that dog adorable! But I love scruffy mutts and want a Border Terrier for my next dog. But that dog certainly doesn't have any Rottweiler in it. Actually I'd suggest Border Terriers to you. They're "manly" enough but still small (under 20lbs), great with kids, usually good other dogs (better than most terriers).

*Newsflash* Yorkies and other small breed dogs are CHICK MAGNETS! You say you are single huh? Get a yorkie and take your daughter and the dog with you everywhere. Women will be lining up to talk to you.
