Yorkshire Terrier puppies may be small and dainty, but don’t let that fool you – these little dogs are tenacious, feisty, brave, and sometimes bossy. The Yorkie exhibits all the traits of a true terrier. Weighing no more than seven pounds, they pack a lot a lot of attitude in those little bodies.
Disposition
Yorkshire Terriers are eager for adventure and seem oblivious of their small size. Although small, they are energetic, loyal, brave, and clever. Yorkshire Terriers are affectionate with their master but can become yappy, apprehensive of strangers, and aggressive to other dogs and small animals without strong leadership from its owner and proper socialization. Due to their small size, Yorkshire Terriers are commonly only recommended for families with older, more considerate children.
Exercise
The Yorkshire Terrier is an active little breed and will need a daily walk and play time to fulfill its exercise needs. Dogs that don’t get proper levels of exercise are more prone to display behavior problems. Due to their size and activity level, the Yorkie is a good dog for apartment life. Although it is active indoors, it will do okay without a yard. The Yorkshire Terrier is sensitive to the cold climates.
Grooming
Their coat is long, fine, and silky and falls straight down to their side and is considered a low shedding breed. However, regular grooming is needed. A Yorkshire Terrier’s coat needs daily to weekly brushing and combing to avoid tangling. As with all other breeds, they should also have their teeth cleaned regularly and have their ears checked and cleaned.
