Bright and eager Yorkie are easy trainers and world-class competitors in obedience, agility, and herding trials. They are sensitive and affectionate family dogs, highly in tune with the mood of the household. They like to bark and tend to be reserved toward strangers'two qualifications of an excellent watchdog.

In temperament they are very lively, intelligent and are generally people pleasers. They enjoy being with their families and are affectionate dogs. My friends Yorkie, for example, loves to jump on your lap.

Whether you have a Yorkie of your own, or you just admire them from afar, you know how special these dogs are. They are smart, loyal, energetic, and adorable. They love to play, cuddle, and herd anything that moves. They are also very vocal and expressive, making them great companions and entertainers

Yorkshire Terriers can make great family dogs as long as they are properly trained and socialized. Their playful energy can be a great match for kids but as with all toy breeds, Yorkies tend to do better with older children that can understand boundaries and gentle handling.
