| did your yorkie turn out to be what you expected? after reading post after post of how some babies didn't turn out to be what was expected(but we still love them more than anything), i was wondering how many of us got exactly what we wanted and how many didn't. like color,weight, length, ears, etc..i can say that i am one that was told he would be smaller. so for me it's no how about you? please explain..

| Yup! Bailey turned out to be what I expected. And hopefully through his changes, he'll stay what I expect |

| I voted yes as I am very happy with how she is turning out (looks-wize, personality....) But I could of also voted no as she is so much more beautiful and I love her much more than I ever expected. I also thought that at this stage she would be a lot larger than she is. |

| Before we got Teddy I had in my mind the vision of what I believed a yorkie should look like. Teddy is probably about as opposite of that vision as it comes. His ears only stand sometimes which I could have probably corrected with taping them but I just didn't want to hurt him in trying. He is a lot taller and actually bigger than I also expected but on the positive side...when he was so small that too actually made me uncomfortable so it worked out perfectly. He's not perfect and neither am I so I would say it was a perfect match made in heaven that we found one another.

| I love her just the same, probably more than I thought I could. But I was expecting her to be a smaller dog. She is tall and weighs in at 8lbs.

| All I wanted was a healthy female yorkie to love. So yes, I got what I wanted. I think she is turning out to be more than I could have ever expected. She is smart, beautiful and and full of personality. |

| Trixie turned out way more than I expected. She is so much cuter, smarter and better than I thought she would be. |

| I have read that yorkies were usually more high strung. Since charlie is my first yorkie, thats what i expected. He is actually really laid back and hardly barks, easygoing. It is fantastic!

| Yes in look wise maybe I was hoping for a bit smaller but I knew he wouldn't stay soo small. I love every inch of him. I was looking for more of a laid back dog but I got I very active one instead even thought the breeder told me other wise BUT he just keeps me on my toes!

| Pixie is everything I expected and more. Granted she's only 7 months old and still has some growing to do (hopefully, because she's a little on the small side) but her personality is everything I wanted in a Yorkie. I really could not have asked for a better puppy.

| Gracie is very sweet and loving she is absolutely beautiful, but I expected her to be a little smaller. I love her to death, I would not change her for anything in this world.

| YES x 100! I cried and cried to my husband for us to get a dog. I wanted one SO badly! I had never had a dog before....and had recently married and moved to a new town. I was lonely without friends, and insecure being in a new town, new husband, new job, etc. I needed a friend really badly. I also needed a friend who needed me as a friend back....and thought a puppy would be perfect. I had so many expectations for a dog...I was afraid that I was setting myself up for a disappointment. Not one I would regret, but inside all my depression and insecurities, I knew a little dog couldn't fill ALL those needs. Oh but he did, he has and he does every day. I don't ever want to know life without my wonderful little dog! Sully is the best medicine I could ever have in my life!!!!!

| Gus is way more than what I had expected. This little guy is so tiny but with the biggest heart. The breeder told me he was going to be around 3 1/2 to 4 lbs. but only reached 2.9. He is so intuned to my emotions. I never thought I could ever get so attached. We have had quite a few dogs in the past but never really bonded as much as Gus and I. He is my baby and I love him as if he were one of my human babies. Which some of you may know just how much my husband, kids and family mean to me by all the pictures I share.
