Yorkshire Terrier
I'm playful, clever, affectionate, independent, feisty.
People are drawn in by the Yorkshire Terrier’s elegance, beauty and winning personality. They love attention, and enjoy being out and about with their owners. They’re such family dogs, that they’ve been known to be a little mischievous when left own their own.
Yorkies like to chase other animals and are best kept on a leash when taking walks. While they don’t demand a lot of space, they do love attention. In fact, if you travel frequently, the Yorkie may not be the ideal pet since they love to be with their owners, other pets and older children.
