WHATS A YORKIE?
A small, compact, agile, alert sturdy dog with engaging personality, spirited with dauntless courage, great intelligence, easily trainable, an admirable watchdog, fearless and tenacious, a lovable companion.
The true essence of the Yorkshire Terrier - that which sets it apart from other small breeds - is it's coat.
The glossy silky coat is very similar to human hair in that it continues to grow and requires trimming. It does not shed. The coat should be brushed daily, and shampooed regularly, to maintain a healthy shiny coat.
A Yorkie in full show coat is a magnificent sight, but much care and attention is necessary to maintain a full length show coat.
It is important that a owners recognize that a Yorkshire Terrier is a very active dog and will expend vast amounts of energy running around jumping up and down on and off furniture, leaping much higher than it's height.
Yorkies are such beautiful natured dogs and will quickly become a well loved member of your family.
Be warned you won't stop at one!
