The Yorkshire Terrier

Because they're so tiny and have such splendid coats, many people think Yorkshire Terriers, or Yorkie, are delicate dogs. Actually, it's better not to baby these dogs too much. Excessive pampering confuses them. Common sense care must be taken because of their size, but Yorkies are little terriers. That means they love to play and investigate. They are bundles of energy as puppies, though older Yorkies can be quiet and settled.
