Yorkshire Terrier

The breed

The Yorkshire Terrier is a small, refined toy dog known for its long, silky coat, often colored steel blue and rich tan. It has a compact body, erect V-shaped ears, and bright, expressive eyes that give it an alert, lively look. Some Yorkies have a flowing floor-length coat, while others are seen with a shorter trim.

Yorkshire Terriers are typically confident, spirited, and affectionate despite their tiny size. They are often curious and energetic, with a bold personality that can seem much larger than their body. Many form close bonds with their families and enjoy attention, play, and being involved in everyday activity.
