Good luck!

Love your answer.

Yep.... my little Mango and her Mommy definitely chose me. The first time I went to the breeder's house, I saw these little babies on the other side of a child gate. I could not help myself and just stepped over it and sat down on the floor. The breeder called out because he thought the Mom would "attack" me to protect her babies from a stranger. Instead, the second my butt hit the floor, the Mommy climbed straight onto my lap and her little female puppy (my Mango) just hopped on with her, trying to run up my chest to kiss my face. I sat quite still, with the Mommy curled up and her baby trying to bounce up and kiss me. I was completely smitten.... could have taken them both home.Mango definitely recognized her "human" Mommy-to-be because her Yorkie Mommy chose her.......

Yep - I think they choose you - I know ours did, and she was right! She is perfect for our family!

it's a personal think in terms of personally....what do you like?

I personally like non alphas so I flip them on their belly. I also not ones not too shy, scared, sweet etc.

spiked_poodle · 03-29-2007, 01:35 PM

I always tell the breeder what personality will fit my home, and since the breeder knows the pups best, she chooses for me. So far it has worked every time!

LOL we went there looking for a girl. there were 11 yerk pups from 3 litters and they were soooo cute they all ran over to us jumping up our legs saying pick me pick me. the breeder allowed me to video them i have the sweetest video of all thees yorkies running all over the place.
At the end of our visit all the yorkies except one went in there bed. Just one stayed at my husbands feet.

spanky's mom · 03-29-2007, 01:48 PM

Can you guess what one we took home?

Yorkiedaze · 03-29-2007, 01:53 PM

Pick one that's outgoing, playful without cowering or nervous or runs and hids over a noise. Don't pick a bully either.

jacky · 03-29-2007, 03:11 PM

i hate to say it but looks are a HUGE part of y i pick a puppy, but if i dont like the puppies personality, looks arent my 1st priority. I love the outgoing puppy that is friendly & curious. Size isnt really a factor, as long as the pup is Excessively BIG or TINY TINY TINY, then its not a problem.

stedmansmommy · 03-29-2007, 03:27 PM

I chose my babies, HONESTLY - #1 because of looks and #2 because of personality

I did not choose them for size and never would. There was a puppy (female) that was a little smaller than Stedman when we were picking him out, but that was of no importance to me AT ALL. IMO she wasn't nearly as cute as he was and had NOTHING on his personality

I LOVE his little attitude and of course his looks won me over straight away

Same goes for Tatum

Amen to that! I always choose the pup that "touches my heart".

Well I never got to meet any of mine so I didn't know their personalities...they were both shipped to me but I really hit the jackpot. Teddy has the BEST personality ever. He's the most friendliest, energetic, funniest boy I've seen and London is a total sweet heart just like me
