| [News] Talk of the York (Cindy Adam's Yorkies) YORKSHIRE terriers just pawed their way up to be named America's second most popular dog. No. 1 is Labs. Now, in the runner-up spot, bouncing the once-ubiquitous poodle, it's my baby - the Yorkie. Of course, there is always the remote possibility Yorkies might have won this popularity contest even if I hadn't kept writing about my two but . . . who knows. My Juicy is 4. My Jazzy Jr. is 3. Juicy, a girl, is 31/2 pounds. The boy, my huge, killer attack dog Jazzy, is 41/2 pounds. Trust me, Yorkies leave paw prints on your heart. Why? What's so great about a Yorkie? First of all, barring minor limitations, a pooch is the same as a husband. An animal is an animal. True, Rover can't go half on rent or fix a light bulb. Also certain accommodations are best handled by, let's say, a great Italian - forget a Great Dane. And your furry creature - the four-legged one - can't zip your dress up the back. So move into a doorman building, find a neighbor or buy two-piece outfits and this problem's solved. Both species are essentially household pets. Both types of hound dogs need potty training, need to be kept on a short leash, need to get out once in a while - but a Yorkie is better than most because: A.) They're portable. I mean, try to go shopping and stuff a Rottweiler in the pocket of your Carolina Herrera coat. B.) They're snugglable. Jazzy is the only male currently sharing my bed, but who needs any other? I put my cold feet on him. He licks my face. He folds right into the small of my back and stays there. And never bothers me next morning with stupid questions like, "So how was it for you?" C.) They're lovable. They don't tell you when you have a zit on your face or that you've gotten fat. They wait for you to come home every night. They don't nag and ask where you've been. D.) And Yorkies don't shed. They have hair, not fur, so there is no dander, no problem for people with allergies. Sue Simmons' Yorkie is Lena, named for Lena Horne. When Joan Rivers lost her adored 19-year-old Spike, she got herself another Yorkie. Amy Tan has two Yorkies. Cupcake Nederlander, daughter of James Nederlander, and Peaches Nederlander, daughter of James Nederlander Jr., have playdates with my Juicy and Jazzy. The Ralph Laurens' Yorkie, Bikini, is the face in their ads. The Yorkie belonging to Katherine Oliver, NYC's commissioner for TV and motion-picture development, is Jazzy's cousin. Norman Sheresky, lawyer for Christy Brinkley's divorcing husband, Peter Cook, has a Yorkie named Biscuit. Biscuit, a product of my breeder, Paula, is a relative of my Juicy. New York is Yorkie country. Of course, like anything with the name "York," they're tough. A little demanding. I mean, Juicy is 31/2 pounds of pure selfish. She owns nine of my 10 rooms. But she's very New York. She loves The Post. Almost every night, I find her poring over my column. Do they ever cause difficulties? Yeah, oh yeah! A Yorkie could have the house broken before they are. And they're terriers. We're talking a slight habit of grabbing guys' pants legs - with the guys' legs still in them. And then there's the bills. Trainers, microchips, coats and sweaters, grooming and hair bows, jeweled collars. Because they're now members of the family, because today America spends $39 billion a year on pets, little creatures with less hair than their mothers have under the armpits are costing fortunes. My two have teeth the size of bugle beads. For a cleaning, including my 15 percent discount, $990. Not that I don't love my vet, Dr. Berman. I do. I do. But it's just that my own human dentist, Dr. Lazare, charges only $175. Still, I love Jazzy and Juicy so much that in the will I'd leave them my apartment if I thought they could pay the maintenance. Liza's next song? "I Love New Yorkie." http://www.nypost.com/seven/01212007...ams.htm?page=0 |

| Al Roker, Today Show, says yorkies aren't real dogs! The Today show did a segment on the most popular dogs when this info was released and Al Roker was poking fun at the yorkie and said he didn't think they could be "real" dogs! Of course to make a statement like that he can't be personally acquainted with any yorkies! |
