Yorkshire Terrier

The Yorkshire Terrier is often seen as a delicate little dog in a carry bag or in the arm of its owner. The true character of this dog is one of being fearless and very unaware of its small size. It is quite sturdy and enjoys being active and playful. They are intelligent and can learn tricks and obedience commands easily. Due to their small size they are great for apartment living and they make good watchdogs. Their coats come in the color combination of a dark steel blue with tan. Standing at 8-10 inches they average around 7 pounds. Because they enjoy exercise and are easy to train, they make good obedience and agility competitors even though they are quite small. Owners describe these dogs as having the heart of a large dog in the body of a small dog. They enjoy the same activities as their much larger relatives, such as walks, competition events, therapy work, and playing with their families. Many even like to retrieve toys. They do make wonderful, playful family companions and do well with other pets that will be tolerant of their boisterous spirit while realizing they are small. Complete Yorkie description.
