Yorkshire Terriers are a small toy breed of Terrier dog type who seem unaware of their tiny size and are surprisingly brave, energetic and adventurous. They are, however, also quite loyal and affectionate.
Yorkies are easy to train, but like other terriers they tend to be dominant and need continual consistent training. If a Yorkshire Terrier feels its owner is weak or nervous it can over-protective and neurotic. Also a spoilt Yorkie can become snappy, show jealous behaviors and end up taking over the household! But they are especially loving and cuddly with their owners in their first 2-3 years.
Yorkies are perfectly happy living in apartments but do require a daily walk. Yorkie are not getting enough exercise with zoom around the house. As with all dogs they enjoy off lead time. Regular grooming to keep their silky coats in good condition is recommended. Since they don't shed much they are good for allergy sufferers.
Here are the Yorkshire Terrier basics:
• Height: 6 - 7 inches
• Weight: 7 pounds
• Lifespan: 12-15 years
And finally here are some warnings to keep in mind!
• Yorkies are great with kids, but make sure your children are old enough to realize that Yorkies are fragile and not suitable for roughhousing. And Yorkies are best with children when they are raised with puppies at home.
• Yorkie puppies can be disgracefully difficult to break something in any home.
• Like other terrier puppies, they can be extremely mischievous when young.
