Why is a Yorkie your choice of dog?

[romeos mommy]

i saw one when a was a little girl and always wanted one. bonus they don't shed, hypo-allergenic, small poop, great personality,small size and cute!

I didn't think of getting a yorkie, my daughter did. I wanted a small dog and at first we were looking at Pappions. Then my daughter decided she liked the coloring better of the yorkie so I did a lot of research on them before I got one. NOW I am head over heels in love with Starsky. So much I want another one!! I read a post on here, they are like potatoe chips, you can't just have one!!!!!!!!!!!

Great traits, personalities, color, lots of love, protecting and fun, fun, fun!

I would babysit my neighbours yorkie when they were on holiday - and even though mopsy was a snappy little thing, I really missed her when she went home. Now I have some fertility problems, and I thought it may help me not to focus too much on that, which has definately worked, and also I have asthma, and was advised that a yorkie is highly unlikely to affect it, and I havent had any problems with that at all.

I also love that they are so fiesty and protective, which Twinkle is, and anyway who could resist those big brown eyes - even my husband succumbs to them!!

We love their "little" York-weiler attitude. They don't shed hair all over. AND they are the most loveable things on the planet!! SNUGLI

My husband picked yorkies - actually he said one day "If I ever should have a dog, it would be a yorkie." I didn't know them and started researching and ended up visiting a kennel - and we both fell for them 110%
Today, I think that since we don't have kids and the dogs are our kids and if I were to choose a human daughter, she should be just like Kali

I met my first yorkie 17 years ago when I went to my friend's wedding. His wife had a yorkie rescue that was so shy and beautiful! I considered it my personal challenge to become her friend in the two days I was there, and by the time I left, she was sleeping in my lap. When we went home, it was a mission to find a yorkie! Lucky for me, Dave was smitten too!

I love Yorkies because they are the whole package. Big dog, little dog, personality, warmth, playfulness. There is never a dull moment unless they are sleeping and then you wonder what they are doing in their dreams.

I love Yorkies for ALLLLLLLLLLL the reasons listed so far! I wanted a lap dog that I could take with me easily. I think terriers, as a whole, have more personality than any other breed. They are certainly their "own" dog! Abbie has such a Huge heart in such a small package. The fact that they don't shed is a big +plus+, too!

I've always had cats and big dogs. I was surprised at myself when last summer I became obsessed with getting a yorkie. I did my research to learn all the technical stuff but didn't really know anything about them otherwise. I'm afraid I nagged my husband to death and when he'd ask why I wanted one so badly, I couldn't put my finger on it. Then one day he said he'd figured it out. With a daughter leaving for college and a son in high school he thought I just wanted a "baby fix". I thought that was ridiculous. Then along came Lilybean.

Guess what...he's right (as usual). I wanted a dog to sit on my lap, to pick up and kiss, to cuddle on the sofa with me. She's full of "p*ss and vinegar" as my mom used to say, but just as lovable as can be!! Now I don't know how I survived for so long without her

I'm starting the campaign for number two, much to my husband's dismay.

I wanted a Yorkie because they don't shed and because they were portable. I couldn't decide between a Maltese and a Yorkie, but then I decided to go for a little variety since a lot of people I know have Malts.

I love Yorkies because they are adorables . They always find something to make peoples laugh . There is never a dull moment with them around .

I completely agree! I originally thought I wanted another cat (my Calico of 13 years went it kitty heaven 3 years ago), but in reviewing what I really wanted, I wanted something to sit on my lap when I wanted it to, to cuddle with me, kiss and hug, yet full of p*ss and vinegar. I also don't know how I survived without her and I want another one, too. My family thinks I'm obsessed - and I am - but I just can't help myself.

It helps tremendously that they are hypoallergenic, don't shed and their messes are small so even if they have a house "accident' it isn't that big of a deal. They are easily transportable and just so full of love.

I would say for all of the above reasons and more! I have every dog Breed
imaginable including some "Mutts" from the pound. I have 2 Yorkies and my male Artie is like an 80 yr. old grandfather trapped in a 10.5 lb. fur body, Abigail is like a "Tazmanian Devil" always stalking & hunting something down.
They are by far the quickest, smartest most intelligent and funniest dogs I have ever had and they are my first Yorkies. I was in Boston, walking to a Chiropractor's appt. and met a woman w/a 3 yr. old son and she happened to have a 3 and half pound male Yorkie, that was a character! I fell in love, that
was a Thursday afternoon and by Sunday evening I was taking the train to the airport to pick-up my own male Yorkie, Artie. That was 2 yrs. ago and I am now a Yorkie fanatic, I would do anything for them.
I would not have any other Breed, I am ruined for Life!
