About the Yorkshire Terrier
Yorkshire Terriers are tiny, confident companions with a lively personality and a surprisingly bold spirit. They can adapt well to smaller homes and enjoy being close to their people, but they still benefit from daily walks, play and thoughtful training. Their long, silky coat requires regular grooming, and their small size means they are best handled carefully around young children. A Yorkshire Terrier can suit someone looking for a portable, affectionate companion with plenty of character.
