| which breed ? My yorkie boy is 6 month old now, and i want to get a second dog. there is some things that very important for me. 1) lap dog that love to snuggle 2) don't like strangers at all 3) very loyal and needle ( My yorkie is amazing, very smart and cute, but he loves everyone and not loyal at all + hate to sit on my lap ) I am thinking about a chihuahua , but i hearing so many opposite things about them...so i really don't no. It's must be a smal breeds. If you have any idea for me, i will appreciate it a lot. Thanks |

| A lot of how yorkies act and react depends upon how they are socialized when very young. Many yorkies are very protective and anti-social. I can't really help you select a breed, I do know that chi's tend to be very protective, I have heard the same things about Yorkies, Doxies, Affenpinchers, poodles and just about every other small breed. Good luck! |

| Yea, i guess its depends a lot on personality. The funny thing is, brother of my yorkie hate strangers so much...and they grow up together. |

| I think you should get another yorkie! They really are all different- I have one who is not very affectionate. She's sweet but not into being held and snuggled and one who wants to be held and snuggled all of the time. If you really don't want another yorkie how about a maltese? They're supposed to be little sweethearts. |

| It has been my experience that a chihuahua is not a good cuddler. I have been around a lot of them, my inlaws together have about 6 at least. Don't like them (in laws, not the chis )so I lost count. I did have one myself at one time. Gypsy is a confirmed cuddler and loves my lap most. But dtr's yorkie is a total bundle of energy.
