Is a yorkie right for you? Take the test!! - Page 3 - YorkieTalk.com Forums

OLIVIA_KARHIS · 02-20-2007, 03:24 PM

I went back to the quiz and basically there saying Yorkies are VERY high Energy (which is not all that true)... Low affection (YEAH RIGHT!!) low friendliness to other dogs, pets and strangers (well VERY low to strangers)..THAT BS and LIE.....Very low training, watchdog and protection abilitary.. VERY HIGH grooming and VERY low cold and hot tolerance... YEAH ALL LIES!! so who ever made the test dose NOT know anything about yorkies... so that makes me question dose this person know anything about dogs at all??

Don't tell anyone on YT that I don't want a Yorkie! And especially don't tell PIXIE! What's up with the poodles and spaniels? I'm not partial to either one. The only one on my list that I have ever even remotely considered is a bishon frise but that's because of allergies and asthma. I couldn't have most of those if I wanted them. Pixie is my first dog... and I am very, very pleased with her, even if she is a Yorkie... or perhaps even BECAUSE she's a yorkie!

That's what I was thinking. Whatever criteria they're basing this test on isn't accurate. Our yorkies are all happy little lovies, but when I was doing research on the breed when I was looking into getting Howie they were portrayed as high energy, unaffectionate yappers. It's a shame our babies get such a bad rap!!!

Of course it's not accurate! For all we know, whoever created this puts exactly the opposite of dog that would be good for you. How would he know anyway??? This is just for fun guys!!
Everybody loves their yorkies and yet nobody comes up with results of a yorkie. That doesn't mean you shouldn't have a yorkie or that a yorkie is not right for you. Everybody loves there dogs and that's what matters the most!
