Girl Yorkies VS. Boy Yorkies question - YorkieTalk.com Forums

tulip23 · 08-01-2006, 02:52 PM

I saw it mentioned here in another thread, but I wanted to see what everyone feels about this: Are boy yorkies more affectionate than girl yorkies?
The reason I ask is because I'm getting one in a few months, and I've been wanting a girl so that I can put her in dresses,etc..but I also want a yorkie who is affectionate and likes to cuddle.
So tell me...what are your experiences?

My girl is much more affectionate than my boy...

Yorkie3 · 08-01-2006, 02:56 PM

My boy and 3 girls are very affectionate. I must say, my boy is the most affectionate, but I attribute that to I babied him more when he was a baby because he was so tiny.

simonandhallie · 08-01-2006, 02:58 PM

Hallie is a LOVEBUG to the extreme!! Simon will be 3 in September and he is slowly becoming more affectionate with me, although he has always given the best kisses

He's usually to busy playing ball or rolling in dirt to be lovey

hahahaha A true boy!!!!

I have both a male and a female. The Female is way more cuddley and sweet than my male one is. Britney likes to go where ever I go. Brooklyn would rather do his own thing.

Alright, so it sounds like yorkies are just like people, some are more affectionate than others.

Exactly! Oscar doesn't give a lot of kisses, but he loves to cuddle up with me and snooze (usually lays on my chest, right across my neck so that I look like I've got a Yorkie scarf). I just got my baby girl yesterday and she's a total sweetheart - can't give enough kisses!

Peanut is 10 and he is a cuddler, but Lexie is my follower...she wants to be everywhere, and she loves to give kisses too. Peanut does too but boy does that baby have bad breath......

(he has had his teeth clean bunches of time)

Very true but here's my experience,
My first yorkie, Gracie was the most spoiled and cuddled puppy ever. I dressed her is cute dresses and kept her in cute bows. We lived in Palm Beach County until she was 6 months old which is a very dog friendly place. She went just about everywhere with me. I talked to her constantly. SHe was really like my little baby. As an adult she is the most independent dog I've seen. She hates to be held, she hates to be dressed and I finally cut her topknot off because even though she will let me put her hair up, she plays so rough I can't keep a bow in. She is a very friendly dog, don't get me wrong, but very far from what I expected and truthfully she prefers my husband. I think its because he just plays with her and doesn't try to hold, cuddle or kiss her. Of course I love her none the less but...
Sugar is my little boy. He wants to be in my arms or lying by me at all times. He does not want me out of his site. He never refuses to cuddle, in fact he'd probably be happy if we cuddled all day long. When I talk to him he gets excited and acts like he's listening. He loves to wear shirts and leaves his bows in. We are completely in love with each other.

My mom had a girl who has passed but she was very much like my Gracie. She now has a boy who is Gracie's brother who is a little sweetie pie. My daughter has a boy who is also a sweetie pie.

So, for whatever its worth, that's my experience.

Nikki+2 · 08-01-2006, 03:48 PM

Okay, I'm not trying to hijack but want to say quickly,
I've been sitting here feeling guilty that I was a little harsh on Gracie so just wanted to say that as my first yorkie, she has and always will have a special place in my heart. I always blamed myself for having too high expectations but maybe its a personality conflict. Anyway, thanks for letting me assuage my guilt.

Peters · 08-02-2006, 06:34 AM

my male seems to want more of my attention then female but he's still a baby he's 12 weeks she 1yr 1 month

Rem&Silkmom · 08-02-2006, 06:42 AM

My boys are very affectionate. Remmy the most he will come and give me a hug and lay his head up on my shoulder. He loves to cuddle and will stay by my side for hours.

Chance is still a pup and will kiss till the cows come home. He does not like to stay still he is to busy exploring.

But chance likes his lovey time to. Usually when he has ticked me off...he comes and gives me kisses.

I have a boy and a girl that are brother and sister. Hobbs is 10 months old and SUCH a cuddler! He would lay with you and cuddle all day if he could. Hootie is my girl and she is only 13 weeks old, so right now she is a cuddler, but who knows what the future may bring!

My parents, grandparents, and sister all have female yorkies they are all VERY independant.

I think it has a lot to to with how you raise them.

I know it is just a cute little saying, but I've always heard that female yorkies "love" you, but male yorkies are "in love" with you. Does that make sense?

They all have different personalities. If you want one to dress up, get a girl and I'm sure she will be as affectionate as you want. If not, well, you can still dress her up. If you get a boy and he's not as affectionate as you would like, then you miss out on both experiences.

mylittletigger · 08-02-2006, 07:50 AM

Tigger has been a total cuddlebug since day one, and a year later still is. I'm getting another one soon so I'm hoping he's the same. Tigger get's jealous when my boyfriend and I even hug so as you can see he's a very big jealous cuddlebunny
