| When did you first fall for a yorkie? Hey everyone! I thought it would be neat finding out when YT people first fell in love with yorkies. I saw my first 'live yorkie' when I was 40! Actually, it was 2 yorkies in a basket at college (my first year!). I went over and started talking to their mommy and daddy and met Adam and Eve (funny, I remember the names of the yorkies ). I immediately fell in love and found a yorkie of my own within the year. I have loved them ever since, and although I love all doggies, yorkies have a very special place in my heart that no other breed can fill! Windy and Lida Rose |

| My HUSBAND talked me into getting a yorkie! My uncle Terry has had a yorkie (12 pounds!) for about 8 years. But during that time, I had never had a dog before, nor was I at a place to get a dog, so I never really thought much about him. And his dog licks to the point of annoyance...so like I said, I passed the thought over. My husband had a wire-haired terrier since he was 8, and it died a couple years before I met him. Anyway, he looooved that dog and always wanted another terrier. Once Eli and I got married, Eli met my uncle Terry's yorkie, Didas (short for Addidas), and my husband fell in love. When we 1st started talking about getting a dog (March of 04) we considered all breeds, especially maltese and yorkies....but my husband got his way after begging and begging for a yorkie and I gave in! Now we're both so sold-out for yorkies we can NEVER go back! And my husband is already on the campaign trail for ANOTHER! Isn't that cute?! P.s. My husband wrote me a cute love note this afternoon....(we've been married nearly 16 months) and the note said "I look forward to our future, with yorkies and children (in that order) and a house of our own! You are my girl and I need and love you forever!" My heart melted.

| Well, I alway thought they were sooo adorable in like dog shows and stuff! And then there was a picture of one in a magazine a few years ago. So I started doing my research because I had always wanted a smaller dog. I just fell in love with the breed. Too bad it took me several years to convince my family to get one! LOL! (I know, lame story, but it's the truth) |

| In love with yorkies I looked up toy breeds on the web over a year ago and yorkies met the requirements I wanted, smart, cute, small, no yukky dog hair everywhere. I got one, then like potato chips, had to have another. |

Yorkie Lover Donating Member | I first found out about Yorkies through my aunt who had breed her Yorkie and had offered me one as a gift...at first I wasn't so sure, but after I saw the puppies for the first time, I knew I had to have one...soon after I had to have another one, in order to have a playmate...now I am totally in love with the breed and can't imagine having anything else!!!

| I really knew nothing about Yorkies. We were getting my daughter a puppy and I was looking at a cocker spaniel. I turned around and my husband was holding a yorkie. He said "I want this one". I held him and he put his two paws on my chest and licked my chin. That was it....I was in love!

| I don't even know when I (we ) fell in love with Yorkies. But somewhere along the lines we just knew that we wanted one, no questions asked! |

| When my parents got divorced (I was 9), my aunt bought my mom a yorkie to help us through the hard times to comfort us, for us to spoil, and so that our maltese had a friend to play with. We, including our maltese, fell in love with her immediately! She brought so much joy to our lives that I knew from that point on, I would always have yorkies. Now my husband and I have Miko (our own yorkie), and we can't imagine life without him! |

| I remember first seeing a Yorkie when I was about 18 years old. I was like "good lord, that dog is SOOO cute!" and I found out they were kind of pricey so I never thought about getting myself one. Then, about 2 years later, my friends and I took a trip to Houston, Texas where my girl friend lives and she recently bought a Yorkie. We stayed with her so I had time to play with her dog and I thought he was the most adorable thing ever! I asked her how much she got Bingo (her Yorkie) for and she said she found a breeder who was selling him for $500.00! After that, I went on my search for Yorkies. It took me about 3-4 months before I found the perfect breeder! |

| My sister had a Yorkie and we Yorkiesit him for a couple of months. We just fell in love over heels with my sis's Yorkie. After that we wanted our own. It took us a while but finally last year we were able to get our own Baby. We love her so much. She is one of the family. |

| 15 years ago My ex had given me my first Yorkie as an Easter present and I fell in love with him the moment I seen him. He passed away 3 years later of intestinal bleeding after one of my daughters friends slammed him in the bedroom door. |

| We got our first Yorkie about a little over six years ago and I fell in love with him the minute I picked him up out of his cage and held him...you look into their big brown eyes and melt It was funny because my mom never EVER wanted a dog...and guess who is my mom's little shadow? Guess who my mom calls "baby doll" and "sweetie" and spoils him rotten? Guess who wanted the second dog and pushed everyone for a second yorkie? Yup...my mom Now we have two beautiful yorkies...Tyke a seven year old and Bubba a five month old --Melissa
