3 Dogs and 2 Cats

The Yorkshire Terrier is a great lap dog.  They would prefer to lounge around all day on your lap if you let them.  They make a wonderful companion and they are very loyal.  They have a spunky side to them but they obide very well.  The Yorkshire Terrier is a very independent breed and demands respect of their territory. 

The Yorkshire Terrier catches on very quickly so the training process isn’t too difficult.  They do need consistency and routine to follow so that they don’t forget everything that you taught them.  They are an intelligent breed so they do keep you on your toes.  The Yorkshire Terrier loves to play but doesn’t require too much activity.   They are high maintenance when it comes to their grooming needs.  They have a longer coat so they need to be brushed daily and trimmed often.  It’s important to clean their eyes daily so that they don’t become tear stained. 

The Yorkshire Terrier is expected to be about 7lbs.  They have a life expectancy of up to 15 yrs.  They do have a more sensitive stomache so it’s important to stick to their steady diet.  They are also prone to tooth decay so cleaning their teeth often is very important as well.
