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.

Are you looking for a tiny, alert companion that enjoys staying close and watching the world around you? Consider a Yorkshire Terrier for that.
