Male or Female?

[yorkiemommy2b]

I have been looking around for my perfect little yorkie but I was just wondering if anyone could tell me which would make a better pet, male or female?? Are there any differences? Do they have different temperaments, or personalities?

I don't think there's much of a difference as long as you get him/her neutered/spayed...Some people on here say that females are the sweetest, some people say that boys are the sweetest. I think it depends on the personality of the actual dog. I have a male yorkie so of course, I think he's the best, but I just recently got a female maltese, I think she's awesome too.
My advice to you is to get the dog that you fall in love with regardless of male/female. Just get the one that melts your heart

Well I have a male and a female. My female is more cuddly so I say get a female

some good advice, thanks guys! I kinda want a female just so I can put a little bow in her hair

My male is more cuddly if he sees an empty lap it is his misson to fill it, the female is more independent. But both are extremely sweet.

I agree, I think it is the individual personality . Tell the breeder what type of personality you are looking for and they should know which puppy would best suit you.

Usually I would say a Female

But my Yorkie female is a terrified scaredy Yorkie

She just likes Quietness

My Male Yorkie is sooo much fun

He has a lovely little personality

I agree with the others. Don't look for male or female, just get the puppy that speaks to your heart. I have both males and females. My male Scampers is such a cuddle bug and has a friendly personality and loves everyone. He loves laying in your lap and giving lots of kisses. I love all the female dogs that I have and they are all sweet and friendly but I have to say for the most part they aren't as cuddly as my male is, except for Destiny she won't leave my lap. I have 6 females and only one will lay in my lap.

Oh and you can still put a bow in a boy's hair, I put bows in both of my males hair. I woulden't have it any other way, the look great with topknots and if you think about it, the yorkies in the show ring all wear bows and a majority of them are males. I just make sure they are boy colors like blue, black, etc. They also have cute bows and outfits made just for the boys.

Thanks for the tip! I have heard that males are more cuddly than the females, and it appears that the boys tend to run at a much lower price...that's good to know that I can still put a bow in a boys hair, He He...

The most beautiful thing with Yorkshire Terriers is they have all wonderful personalities no matter if it is a male or a female .
