Disposition:
The Yorkshire Terrier is a very large dog trapped in the body of a very small dog. Yorkies have no idea that they are so small, nor do they care; they are very adventurous and easily excitable. This breed loves its family, but can be wary of strangers if not socialized well enough from an early age. Yorkshire Terriers should also be socialized with other dogs and other family pets to avoid any aggression. Although Yorkies can be stubborn, they are usually easy to train, and are great watchdogs – alerting their family whenever someone comes near the door with a bark (or ten!).
Activity Level:
Although Yorkies do not need a lot of exercise, they thoroughly enjoy playing and love to go for walks. They suit apartment life well as they do not need a backyard/garden and are active indoors.
