Girl Yorkies VS. Boy Yorkies question - Page 2 - YorkieTalk.com Forums

jmetts · 08-02-2006, 08:08 AM

I'll admit that I got my boy because I had heard that they were more cuddly. My baby is super cuddly! He follows me EVERYWHERE!! If I go upstairs (he can't climb stairs) he will be waiting for me at the bottom of the steps 10 mins later! BUT.... I will say that I think it is very individual & how they are raised. Snickers went through an ordeal where he broke his leg & was confined to a cage for 6 weeks. He had to be on a leash to eat or use the bathroom so that he wouldn't run at all. Because of this, he was on my lap alot & in a front pack carrier because I felt so sorry for him. Honestly, before all this happened...he really wasn't overly cuddly. He would lay on the couch with me, but only by my feet. After he was finally "free" he was a changed cuddler! Either way you go, you will wonder what took you so long to get a yorkie, because these little babies make you fall in love & fast!

Between myself and my parents, we own 2 girls and 2 boys. The boys are by far more calm than the females who definately run the house. The boys were quicker to house break though...until Cody was used as a stud anyway

I never had a female so I can only judge by Buddy. He is a kisser and cuddler. He is up my butt all the time. I swear one day I am going to fall over him and hurt us both.

My male was definately easier to housebreak! I attribute it to my male being very eager to please. I'm in the process of potty training my little girl right now, and she just doesn't care if she gets in trouble or not!

I'm not saying it is like this for EVERY yorkie, but this has been my experience.

Dollie is my first yorkie and I have to tell you SHE is a lover. I have babied her from the moment I put my hands on her and she loves to cuddle. The minute I sit down she has to be on my lap. After awhile she will go to the end of the couch but when she is tired and sleepy up she comes. When we go to bed she must, must, be by my side and I cover her head and say night night and she is out like a light. She is absolutely precious. In the morning I get up and she does her thing, but she has no peace until she is up on the bed kissing my husband good morning and knowing that everything is fine. He will lie down next to her until he gets up. My husband is lying on the couch and I type and Dollie is just lying by his side as he reads. I don't know about the Boy/Girl thing. I just think these little furbabies are God's Gift to us all.

Both my girls love to be where I am, give lots of kisses and love to be handled. It's important to handle them a lot when they are young, esp around the face and paws. When they get older they will be used to it, mine let me put their hair up every morning, brush them and their teeth and will give me a kiss even when they are mad at me for something. I have found that the cloth coated rubber hairbands for little girls work great. Easy to put in and easy to remove at night.
