I love the girls for the wrong reason! I think they are adorable inPINK! But I love boys the best. My boy is the most loving little boy you will ever see.

I only have one Yorkie, Oscar. But if my hubby would let me, I would get another...and it would be a male. Oscar has just in the last few months turned into a Romeo...he loves to cuddle and snuggle. He is very smart and was a breeze to housebreak...and he has ALWAYS been outside trained. I could not tell you the last time he had an accident in the house. I have had other dogs that were female and they could be a whole lot more snippy when they wanted to...my males just seemed to have a whole lot calmer demeanor.

That is so true..i had forgot about that..males are calm aren't they.
I bet if men were having this conversation about us women I wonder how much would be close to what we are saying about female yorkies lol..with the ecxeption of the potty training..i am quite confident we all use the potty lol

Like I said, I grew up with female yorkies, and the male we got for Christmas is the first male yorkie of the family. It took months and months for our females to get potty trained. One of our females, she's 3 years old now, still goes #2 in the house if she feels like it. It only took Hobbs 2 weeks to get potty trained!!!! He is outside trained and goes 100% of the time outside. I couldn't believe has fast he learned! But as to whether ALL males are easier to potty train than ALL females, I have no idea. One of our females, she's 6 years old, it took her a couple of months, but she has not gone potty in the house since then. I think that the point I was trying to make is that Hobbs learned so fast because he got SOOOO upset when we would scold him for going potty inside. Whereas our females, if we scolded them, they would just stick their noses up at us and run the other way! hehehehe Sounds like how I act!! hehehehe But, when we get another one, I will probably get a female. Like someone else said, I can dress little females up in pretty pink clothes and put bows in her hair!! My husband won't let me do that to our male!

After growing up with female yorkies, I can tell you that males are SOOOOO much more affectionate and eager to please than females. Females are very independant and are the opposite of eager to please. But, even though I love my little affectionate male, I also keep thinking that I would like to have a female. So, who knows what we'll end up with!!! Another plus of getting a male is that they are usually less expensive to purchase!!

I could not disagree more! Dennis is my first male and he is not anything like the loving little girls that I have had. He is a smart and wonderful little boy but he can’t at this time hold a candle to any of my girls.

I do love my little Dennis, but my girls were all so very special and in my opinion easier to handle. Dennis loves to look for trouble, hence the name “Dennis The Menace”. Oh no he is now barking at me, I think I am in trouble here, but my opinion still holds.

my female is a daddy's girl and my male is a mommies boy....hard to say which because they are both so wonderful.....i would look around and choose by personality and not gender

I completely disagree. I have a male and female. My male is very playful and full of energy. While my female will play when she is in the mood...she is so much more the lover in the house. Both can be found at the bottom of my feet all day. But, at night when it is time to cuddle on the coach...it is my female in my arms...and sometimes my male will lay at the bottom of my feet ( or fall asleep with daddy).

I think training my little girl has been easier. My little guy is much more destructive! I love them both...and no matter what you choose my hunch would be you will love either one!

RLC12345678 · 03-28-2006, 08:12 AM

I completely agree!!!!!!! You will absolutely LOVE either one!!!!!!!! I think that the ease of training has everything to do with how much time you are able to spend on it and consistency!

Nikki+2 · 03-28-2006, 08:58 AM

My experience has been that girls are much more independent and also more protective. My girl is a barker! The boy isn't (yet- fingers crossed) My mother has had two girls and a boy and her girls were the barkers. The girls are affectionate but on their own terms. As far as potty training-our girls were easier.

chachi · 03-28-2006, 09:02 AM

My male is easier to train than the female. The female is the more affectionate one though. She is a lover but she doesnt listen worth a d***!

RLC12345678 · 03-28-2006, 09:15 AM

Our females are the barkers as well!!!!! My little boy hasn't started barking yet, so I'm crossing my fingers that he doesn't pick up any bad habits from our girls!!!

Tashasmom · 03-28-2006, 11:06 AM

Oh gosh I hope I didn't come across as to not get a female. Females are just as loving as just as much fun just in dif ways than males. Yet ALL of them loved to be loved..loved to go on walks..loved to be cuddled. ect.. ect. Either way you will love whichever you get.

RLC12345678 · 03-28-2006, 11:54 AM

Sorry I have put so many posts on this thread!! I wanted to reiterate that neither males nor females are better than the other! Like the previous posts says, they are both loving and super smart. I believe it has almost everything to do with how they are raised. You will love male or female to death!! I have always had females, now I have a male, and I will probably get many more of both before it is all said and done!

I read this and for the most part, rings close to being true. However, every yorkie is different. We have 8 yorkies, 5 girls and 3 boys. They all are different and don't fit completely into any of the descriptions given. I have a female that would lay on my lap and beg to have her belly rubbed 24/7. She has to be near me, next to me, or on top of me. One of our females was very independent from the get-go. One of our males will have nothing to do with me but clings to my husband, another lays around flat on his back all day but when he wants attention, watch out. From my own experiences, about the only difference I can see between male and female yorkies in general is that the male likes to mark their territory. It all depends on the dog, not necessarily the sex.

Tashasmom · 03-28-2006, 01:56 PM

Oh and I should mention that i have all females and one very special tiny male pup..and i've come to one conclusion..i just plain love em all..big ,little ,short ,tall ,big ears, lil ears ,barker, non barker, playful, lap warmer, you name it..i just love animals...
Now if I could learn to love people as much I wouldn't be such a hermit lol..just kidding..kinda lol
