You guessed right, Yorkie

Our 4lb cat looks like a Monster next to it :p

My wife is hoping to train him to sit on her lap while she cruises around in her chair
..
We will see
 
In my experience, the biggest issues with Yorkies is house training.
We had hundreds of them and 99% would go in and out the dog door, bark at the cows, howl at the moon, visit with the neighbours, come inside to have a dump and then go back outside.
Mostly I blame the owners. A Lab crapping on the floor is a whole other level from a little Yorkie turd and people deal with house training accordingly.
Be ever vigilant if you are cruising around in bare feet:)
What's the new kid's name?

So far he's has been good and gone straight to one of those puppy pads, that's the wife's plan, to try and train him for the puppy pads, at least when it's not feasible to just take him outside (namely winter when I am out of town)

Pedro is the little guys name

My wife's hope of having a dog that'll cruise around may work out....the training has begun ..

It is hard to imagine in many ways, but that is what select breeding does I guess. It sometimes makes me wonder what a lot of animals looked like before they became messed with by humans. Maybe humans too?
The strong/lucky survive until people get on the scene .

With that colouring I thought it was a Rottweiler. Actually, looks a lot like our sweet (departed) Yorkie. Great dog she was.

i guess the color changes as they get older into more of those typical yorkie colors, although i like the black and brown

selective breading at its finest! the one case i always think of for that is the cow, how the heck humans turned an oxen into a cow (and so many varities) i find kind of amazing....or things like bananas and watermelons.....man humans are good at screwing with things!
