Yorkshire Terrier, a small yet big-hearted breed of dog, is loved by many for its loyalty and affection. The most popular toy dog breed in the United States, the “Yorkie” has won many fans with their devotion to their owners, their elegant looks, and their suitability to apartment living.
Yorkies are small, playful dogs who will stick to you like your shadow. They can be yappy but if given lots of love and attention from their owners they make great apartment pets! Yorkshire Terriers are affectionate towards their people as one would expect from a companion dog, but true to their terrier heritage, they're sometimes suspicious of strangers, and will bark at strange sounds and intruders.

GROOMING YOUR
YORKSHIRE TERRIER
Grooming a long-haired Yorkshire Terrier is not for the faint of heart, especially if he has a "soft" coat that tangles easily instead of a silky one! Even if you keep his coat trimmed short, gently brush your Yorkie's coat every day to help prevent mats and keep him clean. They’ll need a bit of maintenance too, especially when it comes to dental care. Small breeds are prone to dental problems, and Yorkies are no exception because they tend to form a lot of tartar on their teeth and can lose their teeth at a young age, so brush their teeth regularly and schedule a professional cleaning by your vet at least once a year.
