did your yorkie turn out to be what you expected? - Page 2 - YorkieTalk.com Forums

Haha Teddy - I did the same - answered NO because my dogs turned out to be MUCH MUCH more than I expected. I can live without kids as long as I have Kali and Mare (+ they won't wreck my car and make me go to PTA meetings)
I really didn't expect a dog to be all that and at the same time be so much dog.

Looks wise, Chewy turned out to be exactly what I was looking for. Also, he is very lovey and likes to sit on my lap and get the back of his ears rubbed. I did not expect him to be so naughty, though! Case in point, running away with my engagement ring or my son's new Star Wars figures. After much deliberation, we have decided to keep him

Absolutely!!! Toto is our absolute joy!!

Chelsey · 08-09-2005, 02:53 AM

My girls are MUCH MORE then i could ever have wished for, i have already cried many happy tears for them, i feel SO blessed to have them in my life, they are my pride and joy, these little ones are SO lovable and happy, always have smiles and kisses for us, they adore each other and they each have more then enough love in their tiny bodies to share it with us!

I never thought i could love like this again after we lost our other 3 yorkies, for a long time i could not allow myself to think of loving another, but i know now that this is what our other babies wanted for us, and i know they are looking down and smiling, they will never leave us, i talk and sing to them everyday!

I have a double answer,my male is not what I was lead to believe,he was supposed to be around 4 lbs,and he is 4.10 lbs,but his hair is not very long, it is silky,yet I thought I was getting a blue and gold,yet he is turning into a silver and blue,the blue is lighter than I expected, his breeder said its a recesive gene and his color wont matter,yet he is not cobby,he feels like a muscle bound terrier, my female is everything and more, she is cobby,weighs 4 lbs even with thick longer silky hair,she has twice the hair he does,and her legs are shorter, now for personality,he is a sweetheart,not hyper,loves to be told he is a good boy,she is a little attitude waiting to show it,if you say she is a good girl,she looks at you like she knows it, if you say bad girl, its like "So what mom, big deal, I don't care...but we love them both dearly

SoCalyorkiLvr · 08-09-2005, 02:57 PM

All of my yorkies have been MORE than what I expected. I have had dogs all of my life and I have loved them all, but I was not prepared for the impact that these little dogs would have on me!

Hefner was my first and I had no idea what I was doing but I lucked out and got a great dog from a wonderful breeder/broker right here in my town who took the time to teach me about the care of this tiny breed. He is a great dog and he is almost a year old. He is independent but loves to love and cuddle as well. He is not yappy and not too hyper and he loves to sleep in!

Buddha, I got for my daughter, and he is different from Hefner in looks and personality but he is such a sweetheart and soooo cute. He smiles and is happy and loving and, although a bit of a wimp, he is calm and gets along with other dogs.

Chai is my middle daughter's dog and she is the biggest challenge because she has a bit of a hyper personality and bosses everyone around. She tends to be jealous and barks the most, but she too is more than I ever expected when I bought her. She is unique in looks and mannerisms and she is small at less than 3 lbs.

My most recent adoption was of baby Ava and she is such a "perfect" puppy it is almost scary. I spent a lot of time however searching for her and I think my research and time paid off. She is the cutest thing and she is well trained, she only barks when appropriate, she has a gorgeous coat, big eyea, small ears and will be under 4 lbs full grown. She is almost 100% potty trained and she does not cry when left alone, she gets along with the other dogs and all people. She loves to give kisses and can play rough without wimping out. She is just what I was looking for an more because I wnated to complete package with looks and personality and I think I succeeded!

Rex'z momma · 08-09-2005, 04:34 PM

i voted No.....Rex turned out to be so much more that we expected... not to mention ALOT BIGGER

Kaluiah · 08-11-2005, 10:55 AM

Ramsey is everything and more then what I expected!!

chachi · 08-11-2005, 11:10 AM

Chachi and Jewels are both much more than I expected. They are both so sweet and everything I could want.

Kelz · 08-11-2005, 04:33 PM

Yes and so much more!

LIL MIS' MAGIC · 08-11-2005, 04:36 PM

I would have to say a big YES...I had no idea what to expect but I now have two wonderful girl who are the best yorkies in the world (in my opinion)!! I would have never expected them to be to loyal and loving, the are the highlight of my day everyday!!

Shanatink · 08-12-2005, 06:13 AM

I voted yes but honestly the answer is no, because she turned out even better! But there wasnt an option like that so i chose yes

AshDavis · 08-12-2005, 06:31 AM

I voted no because Shelby is nothing like I expected her to be. We had a choice between her and her sister when we went to pick her up. My boyfriend liked Shelby better when we had seen pics of both of them and in person. I wasn't sure which one, but I liked how Shelby's sister was playing around more than Shelby was. Then KC, my boyfriend was like no you don't want a hyper dog they will drive you nuts, so we got Shelby, she was smaller than her sister also and I wanted a small one. Plus I wanted KC to bond with the dog and I figured letting him pick which one woould help him bond with her. Well, she is the hyperest thing ever she never sleeps, at least I don't see her sleep. She runs everywhere, and then runs laps around the room in a circle over and over it is crazy, biting everything and I just have to laugh becuase I thought I was getting this sweet mild-mannered dog. I love her so much no matter what she acts like though.
