They are very brave, always up for adventure, and they are almost always full of energy. You'll be hard pressed to find a small dog who has more courage and attitude than a Yorkie.

the average dog of this breed weighs only 7 kg and about 7 inches high from floor to shoulder. They are very thin body, and are very susceptible to injury. That makes this dog a bad match for families with small children.

Yorkie's long, straight hair flowing in different colors. Therefore, it is important to be bathed, groomed, and cut more often than other breeds. If hair becomes too long in front, the dog will have a hard time watching, and may begin to have trouble because of an infection caused by hair in their eyes.

These dogs are fairly easy to train as long as the alpha state is immediately established, but they can be very naughty and stubborn at times. To prevent this, the owner must be controlled, but must also give the dog a space that is needed to learn and explore on their own.

If the Yorkie is starting to feel alone, abused, or in need of constant human attention, they can show mood changes, jumpiness, and even aggression. Once again, these types of dogs demands positive attention, but they must also have some personal space.

Yorkie has the perfect companion for older children and adults, because they are so loyal and active, but not a good choice for younger children because they are so fragile. They also require lots of attention when it comes to cleaning and grooming them, and because they are so small, they have a hard time adjusting to severe weather changes. Before you buy a Yorkshire terrier to be sure that you have the correct temperament, and that you have the patience to work with them. They are very demanding and needy dogs from time to time, and if you do not have to meet their owners, they can become a dog with behavioral problems.
