Yorkshire Terrier Puppies Blog

Yorkshire Terriers were first known as Brokenhaired Scotch Terriers and arrived in the States in 1880.

As an avid fan of this little dog breed, I often scout the intenet, looking for other Yorkie Terrier blogs. I found a great Miniature Yorkie Blog, and its contents are trully inspiring. The author posed a very interesting question: ” Is it better to get a male or a female Yorkie?”

Well, let us analyse this point a bit. According to my research:

- Male yorkies are usually more affectionate, exuberant, and attentive as compared to females. They seek your attention and are very attached to their people. They also tend to be more steadfast, reliable, and less moody.
- Most females will usually come to you for attention, but as soon as she has had enough, she will move away. Males are always waiting for your attention and close by.
- In the dog pack framework, females usually rule the roost, and initiate more fights than males do.
- Because female yorkies are, more independent, stubborn, territorial and male yorkies are easily motivated by praise, and are very eager to please, it is often people’s experience that training a male is easier.
- Males on the other hand lose interest far quicker than females do.
- Females are much more intent upon exercising their dominance by participating in alpha behaviors such as humping and in fighting.
- Male yorkies tend to bond to the woman in the household and female yorkies bond to the man in the household.

I guess the bottom line is that there is no correct answer. What are your beliefs? Are male of female Yorkies better to have as pets?
