It depends on the personality of the person as to which dog is the best. Myself, I'm in love with Yorkies!!! I have 3 and some on the way. I grew up with a Fox terrier. I like the spirited but loyal personality of the Yorkies, besides finding them easy to have in a small home & yard in town. Also, because of my having asthma, they are ideal as they don't trigger any breathing attacks. They are comical and entertaining, definitely loving attention. The Yorkie fits my needs at this stage of my life. I've had an English shepherd who was a wonderful stock dog. Because we had poor fences and had sheep, he was the perfect dog for me at that time. It depends on what your living needs are, when you choose a pet. I also have rat terrier, Pipsqueak. She is a wonderful friend. She is better trained than the Yorkies. I don't know if that's because of her or because of me. I keep her wiped off to lessen animal dander; not a problem. While I love her to pieces and she's easier to groom, I have to admit I do like the soft hair on the Yorkies. Still, Pipsqueak is better trained in all aspects than the Yorkies. Perhaps I baby them too much because they are smaller. I know people who swear by the Sheltie. If you want a calm dog who wants to please, this is a good choice. I have to admit, I just kinda like these spunky little Yorkies who have so much personality!

Considering buying a pup from Yorkiepup.com (Jeff Dane)? Consider the facts below. 1 - My first-hand experience. Jeff is a puppy mill breeder who presents himself online as a compassionate and responsible person, but once he has your money, you're pretty much an annoyance to him. I bought a pup from him. It died in 2 weeks from a vet-confirmed birth defect. Jeff was rude, uncaring, and blew up when we asked for compensation for the 700.00 in vet bills. Sound like a compassionate person to you? 2 - Do a google search on him. See the SPAM that he posts advertising his business. Also take note that "other people" often post on his behalf, but textually sound a lot like Jeff himself. Also note that Jeff sells farm equipment. If somebody starts speaking out against him on a bulletin board, suddenly the thread is spammed with a bunch of farm-equipment information, and the thread is locked. Also look at the source code of his website, might be of interest. His writing presents him as more of a psycho than a compassionate breeder. 3 - Jeff was previously in the monster-truck biz, until he quit because it wasn't lucrative enough (all info taken from online research, i.e. GOOGLE). So he got into a more lucrative business - puppy mills. In his words, "MONEY MOTIVATES!!" 4 - After one day of posting these messages, I have been contacted by several other people who have had similar experiences in buying his puppies. BE SMART. DON'T GIVE YOUR MONEY TO A CON-MAN. feel free to email me =)

Definately the best PETS and DOGS in the world. I love my yorkie so much she's my baby girl. She is so loving and playful. She is so happy when she sees me and she smiles and shows her pearly whites. She's just a doll she is almost 2 years old and weights 2.4 pounds. She is a little angel. She lays on her back in my arms just like a baby would. She gives my whole family so much love we love her so much. I don't know what my husband, daughters and I would do without her. When I come home from work she is sitting on back of the couch waiting for me she sees me and runs to the french doors and cries her eyes out if I don't get inside fast enough. She is so smart she has hundreds of toys she knows with each is no matter what I say get your blues clues, get your duck, get your rabbit, get your puppy or get your baby she always gets what I tell her to get. She's wakes me and my husband with lots of kisses every morning. She's tiny but full of energy and FULL of LOVE. She sleeps with me and my husband. If your looking for a dog that you will love as much as your own children a little Yorkie is for you. We call her a little person because that's what she acts like she sure doesn't act like a dog. Take it from me I never thought I would want a dog in the house or love a dog like I love her I would be lost with out her. All our family is completely in love with her too. Nothing is better than a love of a Yorkie baby.

I dont always feel that i have enough time for her but she dosnt care as long as take some tiem out for her. I take her every were they are great dogs for in the cars and planes they can fit in small places and carriers so u can usually take them on planes with you. They are great wtih vets and dont usually bite unless they feel that u or they are in danger they are bid dogs in little packages. My dog thinks she is the biggest dog there is. she will get into a fight with a huge dog if she felt that i was in danger. And they are so easy to train if your stick with it and take the time to train them. They learn very fast. So yes i love my dog and Yories are the best dogs in the world!!!!!!

I LOVE Yorkies they are extremely well be behaved and beautiful. They have a good attitude and always cheer me up. I myself own two lovely Yorkies a male and a female and every where I go people want to know if they are breeding and I have already gotten many offers for the puppies even though my dog isn't even expecting yet. I would advise anyone who needs a new pet or even a new lifelong friend to buy a Yorkie. They truly are the best breed of them all.

I was recently surprised with a new baby girl. She is 9 weeks old today. We love her. My whole family...11yr old and 13 yr old love her. My husband adores her which I was surprised at, but I think it is because she is so darn cute and entertaining. Once we get through this potty train stage we may get another one.

I own 4 yorkies and everyone of them are special. If I'm in a bad mood it only last a few seconds before they make me laugh. I have owned several large dog breeds and the yorkies win over them. I loved the big dogs but much more demanding and with the laws the way they are you have to be careful of what you own and containment is much more a problem. My husband says I can have 4 times more yorkies than the larger breed. I mean around $30 a year to feed each, can't argue with that. I will own more yorkies as soon as I can find breeders to my liking. But I agree with all above they really are SPECIAL.

We have two Yorkies. Emma and Libby. They are cute, warm and fun. The only complaint I have is that they're bladder is too "Yorkie size." They love us to death, can't stand to be too far away and can walk 3 miles without any problem. Any Woman would pay big bucks for the color of their hair, they can be carried anywhere. I love them.

I think Yorkies make wonderful pets. They tend to be a little hyper at times, but when it comes to a lovable and loyal companion, they hold their own. I owned a standard named Benji. He was better than any burglar alarm when it came to alerting you to anything out of the ordinary. He lived 9 years and died this morning after a sudden and brief illness. I can't stop crying, just thinking of his cute little face and the quality of life he added to our family. In time I may decide to get another Yorkie, but none will ever replace my Benji.

Well potty training takes patience for sure but my baby Yorkie was potty trained at 9 weeks, so these dogs are definitely smart! I blocked off my kitchen for "his area" complete with food, water, toys, a bed, a carrier for him to hide in and newspaper for him to potty on. He had accidents for the first couple weeks but I would leave his papers a little soiled for a while so that he would return to that spot to go. Well it worked and now he will still go on the papers and he is 15 weeks old. It is convenient because I work during the day and if he really needs to go potty he will go on the paper and he doesn't have to try to hold it till I get home.

I love Yorkies, also. They are harder to train than my other mixed breed dog, but well worth it. I just have to say, though, that there is no such thing as a Teacup Yorkie. A reputable breeder will tell you this--so will a Vet. Anyone who has sold you a "teacup" has just sold you a regular Yorkie....sorry, but you got swindled! I'm still so surprised that people still think there is such a thing--even after all the literature on how people are selling "teacup" Yorkies for way more than a regular--and people buy them! ARGH!
