ok i know this is a yorkie fourm but i need your opinion
 

which should i get i know you all have other animals besides yorkie lol i cant decide which one

I chose other. I think Poodles and Chihuahuas are cute but I really like Pomeranians (after yorkies). Some look like little foxes. Soooo cute.
I like Chihuahuas over Poodles.

i cant stand pomeranians, there is something abotu their temperment that just bugs me......... i really dont like any of the choices, maybe that is why i went for a yorkie in teh first place huH?

Umm???
 

No offense, but who are we to choose the breed of your dog?

Every breed of dog has different traits and special needs. It all depends on what you're looking for in a pet. I would suggest looking up a list of small breed dogs and their characteristics to fit what you're looking for.

Or, there are a few good internet "quiz" type things that will help you find a breed that will fit your personality and place in life, etc. Such as: http://www.dogbreedinfo.com/search.htm

Here's some advice, though....since you're looking for a "tiny" dog.... Make sure that the breeder you buy from gives a health guarantee. Ask the breeder if either of the parents has a history of health problems. And if the breeder advertises that they have "super-tiny" or "teacup" sizes, steer clear of them.

We (here on YT.com) can't really help YOU choose the right breed for you, but we can surely give you good advice on finding a good breeder, etc. :)

My brother has Poms and they are sweet - not exactly the dog for me, but then again neither are poodles or chi's.

I think maybe why we aren't picking the other breeds is because yorkies are unique. Yes, they are a toy sized dog but don't tell them that! They are terriers and well... act like terriers something the other toys don't. I'm not saying you can't have a great pom or chi, but they're breeds I'm not interested in. Don't get me wrong there are other breeds I love but not in the toy group. I'm looking at getting a playmate for my yorkie and it'll be another yorkie or a min dachsie. I grew up with standard long haired dachsie show dogs and I do love the breed but a min would be best for my yorkie I think.

Maltese

I chose Cavalier or Daschund. I don't like Poms or Poodles.

I like lhasa apsos...my mom has 2 and they just have the best personalities. But i guess i don't know if they are toy or not?? hers are 12 and 18lbs....but they always seemed small to me until I got Baby....Good luck!

I have a Maltese and they are a great breed.. I find that my Yorkie really matches well with my Malt's personality, they really compliment each other. But do your research because if you don't get a Malt from a reputable breeder they can have a LOT of problems.

Adria - What kind of problems can Malts have. Where did you get Tuffy?

Well I think....
 

Well I bet you know what I will say....Yorkie-Poo. You get the best of 2 cute breeds. No shed and they are a bit less stubron (sp).

I like Bichons too. I think know though the yorkie-poo has caught my heart, well after a yorkie.

I was a little nervous about admitting this on this forum, but we are getting a Yorktese in about ten days. I definitely wanted another puppy to raise alongside Kodah & thought about another Yorkie, but my husband & son wanted something different. We considered a Maltese - but I just don't think I can keep up with the grooming & tear staining, but I do think they are just adorable & have great personalities. My daughter has a 4# chihuahua, and they are very low maintenance & cute, but she won't cuddle with Kodah or lay close to her--just wrestles & chases. So we started checking into the Maltese/Yorkie mix & couldn't believe how hard it was to find one! - finally got on a ladies waiting list & should have one around May 5. She is going to probably be about 5 - 6 lbs which is what size my husband wanted. Kodah is still really small at 13 weeks but that doesn't slow her down! Good luck in your search - & I agree it's hard for others to pick something for YOU - many people like dog breeds I don't care for & there are even some people in this world who don't like Yorkies! (can you believe that!!!!!!)

i would say ...

i do like poms because oreo is half yorkie half pomeranian :) and he has the greatest temperament ever and he's the greatest! ;) ..

i also like Maltese's they are just so cutsie.. i do like dashunds =) i used to own one.. i miss her.. :)

hmmmm i don't really like chihuahua's sorry! :eek:

There was a woman on this forum who was selling her litter of Maltese/Yorkie mixes for $200. I PM'ed her, but her located was just too far away from me to consider it.

really congrads i cant wait to see pics :D

Maltese They are cute too! :D

Dog breed
 

I choosed a chihuahua even thugh I dont think thats the right dog for a yorkie! :)

Yes what are you looking for personality wise?
I have maltese too and love them! They really compliment eachother's personality, what one isn't the other is.

I'm just curious what color your yorktese is? Do you have pictures?

Malts are prone to a lot of the same problems that Yorkies can get. My sister's Maltese had to have a really costly surgery to correct a Level 4 luxating patella.. he's perfect now but that was scary. Also Malts have the white coats so they have grooming issues.. they can get tear staining which is probably the #1 issue Maltese owners have. I've been lucky that my guy doesn't really suffer from that. There are also the potential for liver shunt and collapsing trachea and a disease called White Shaker's Syndrome that hits white dogs. It's rare, but happens. My Maltese came from a backyard breeder.. in my case a less than great one. They pretty much breed for the money and not the love of the breed. Tuffy is great, I love him to pieces but he's not breed standard. He's almost 8lbs, really long and skinny and his coat is very cottony and not silky like it should be. My sister got her Maltese from the same breeder and he had the luxating patella as well as being very very small. They let a very tiny little Maltese (probably around 4lbs) get pregnant and that is just something a good breeder wouldn't do.. I'm surprised she made it w/out any problems. And the breeder kept telling us how we were getting such a deal on him because she could sell him as a teacup and make lots of money (huge RED flag there). We really didn't research a lot before we got our dogs and probably would have gone another route had we known better. Another thing to consider is that Maltese are usually more expensive than Yorkies.. I've found that a really good quality Maltese from a top of thel ine breeder can run you over $2000 but it is not quite as much for a Yorkie. But overall, if you are aware of the issues that are common in Yorkies and know what to look for in a good breeder, you are prepared to face what can occur in Maltese.. and overall the breed is just a wonderful one, very loving and sweet.. even my little independent Tuffy can be sweet too. :)

Out of all "toy" dogs, I like... yorkies of course, malteses are super cute, and I also like pekingneses... their cute too.... But see, I've never owned a toy dog before... so I guess you would have to see about how their personalitys are too..... Just cause their cute, doesn't mean they will be a good companion.

Good Luck!!!

I choose, Chi, b/c Missy or other furry girl is precious!! Maltese are pretty too!!

Well, I have 2 yorkies and 2 Schnauzers, and both breeds are great. I wanted animals that did not shed. The Schnauzers are very smart,very loving, and very easy to potty train. My female Schnauzer is 3 1/2 years old and weights about 11 lbs. :aimeeyork

I like poodles, they are smart and have good hair that doesnt shed, very nice type of dog, that is if you dont want a yorkie, which is what I would reccomend!!!

im gonna go there see what they have and see who i fall inlove with watch me get a 200pd mastiff lol :eek:

Where are you getting your puppy from????????

i was thinking qulity SP? canines in brooklyn

Do they have a website?
