I think that it's great that you love your little one so much-it's not hard at all!

My hubby (6.1'/250 lbs) dresses our little ones and talks to them all the time. Yesterday he brought Maggie to vet while I met them there, well he had put her little pinky sweater on her and was holding her in his arms when I got there.

Sigh, the bigger they are the harder they fall for these little ones. tee hee.

My DH did not want me getting a yorkie to start off. He thought he did not like little dogs. It took less than a day for it to become apparent that our first Yorkie was his dog! From then on he was a Yorkie fan. Each one seemed to bond with him more than anyone. He actually picked out a large chaise so all the dogs could sit with him when he watched TV in the evenings. Very fond memories! -- So, YES -- real men love Yorkies!

Okay so my bf is not a big strong man but he has always wanted a big dog but now he just loves Cullen!

My fiance could not understand why I wanted a small dog for the life of him! When we first got Riley I caught him doing cutesy things with her, like baby talk and rubbing noses, and he denied everything!

Now she is his whole world. His 'baby girl'.

Although, to this day, he still says he hates small dogs. He just loves Riley... and our Sheltie... and our friend's doxins... and their chiweenie... and their toy poodle... and his little sister's pug...

What a fantastic thread! When my DH and I decided to get a dog that we could train to be a therapy dog he said he really wanted a lab but knew it was not sensible because we had limited space.

During our search that took us almost two years, DH did his best to show interest. When we found our little guy I said to him- just you wait, this dog will be your biggest heartbreak.

We named our little guy Guinness, after one of DH's favorite beverages, a black and tan- bass beer on the bottom with dark guinness beer on top. l told him- look, he's even the same color!

Flash forward... We failed miserably with crate training because DH would sneak Guinness into bed in the middle of the night. He bought him a goose down jacket and got it altered to fit perfectly. DH got a doggy ride dog trailer and mounted it permanantly on his bike so he can take Guinness for an hour ride on Sundays. He hogs the handling of Guinness at obediance, rally, and agility training and therapy visits. DH even purchased a camo sling bag (not too fou fou) so he can sneak Guinness past security when he occasionally has to work at the office on Saturdays. He often jokes that he wants to write a book titled- Little Dogs Get A Bad Rap.

So... Deb Sillers of Amazing Yorkies, we need another dog!

My Alfies breeder is male and they're very much his dogs and dont forget the top breeder over her was a guy. In fact met many male exhibitors while showing. No men in this house but I too find its mainly the men who want to stop and say hello to my two. I think they just find it hard to believe just how spunky our little furbutts are.
