yorkshire terriers

The Yorkshire Terrier is an icon at breed shows and a favorite the world over. This toy-sized terrier - seven pounds of silky floor-length hair -- is tenacious, feisty, and delightful.

Yorkies are perfect city dwellers and are well-suited to apartment living. They are wonderful travel companions and can fit in a small carrier or purse! They have a tendency to bark, especially in stressful situations, but regular socialization can help reduce this.

Since Yorkies can be stubborn and bossy and can be aggressive with other dogs and impatient with small children. Ensure you train them at a young age and provide frequent socialization. Because they are so smart, they are quick learners.

They have silky, glossy hair that needs regular grooming.

Since they are so independent and intelligent, they require regular mental stimulation and physical exercise.

As a primarily indoor dog, ensure you dress them appropriately for adverse weather! Since they are often carried, you require regular nail clippings.
