Yorkies totally ROCK! I have had my Max (AKC name: Maximus Decimus Meridius) since just before Christmas and I love him to death. I have to admit he is a yappy one.....he is very protective and if he hears someone at the door he barks. But he is not especially hyper, even for a puppy. He pretty much follows me everywhere and just lays at my feet.
A bonus with Yorkies.....the don't shed. I can wear a black top and let Max climb all over me and there is nary a fuzz. Yorkies have hair as opposed to fur, so it grows instead of falling out. If you want to keep the hair short you can get it trimmed....I take Max to Petsmart for grooming and it only costs 14 bucks for the works.
Also, for you "Manly men" who hate little dogs.....my husband is as purely, completely testosterone as it gets. It is not possible for a man to be more completely masculine than he is, simple as that. Sweat, beer, burping and farting, scratching, etc etc.....that's him. He is the exact opposite of a 'metro.' He has always loved big dogs, as in big houndy dogs he can take out in the bush to kill cute wildlife with or gigantic, scary police dogs from the SWAT team that can rip your arm off......he was full of talk about what he was going to do to my rat when I got it. Let me tell you, Max had him charmed within the first hour. Now they have a daily ritual....when Brent gets up in the morning and disappears into his part of the bathroom he always takes a pop-tart in with him. Max now joins him every morning and Brent shares his pop-tart with the dog!!! I can hear him in there crooning to him. When he lays on the couch watching his infernal sports, Maxi is right up there with him getting a belly rub. The thing is, Max isn't a dainty little chick dog. He thinks he is a big, hulking Great Dane. He gets right up into my big dog's face and no matter how many times she bites him he comes right back, snarling like a maniac. They play like two big dogs. I LOVE YORKIES!!!!
