Learn About Yorkshire Terriers

Breed Overview

Playful, feisty and brave are just three words to describe a Yorkshire Terrier. As one of the most affectionate breeds of dogs, Yorkies are perfect for those living alone or families with older children. Because Yorkies are fearless and protective, they will bark when they feel their owner is in danger. Don’t let its small size fool you as Yorkshire Terriers make fine little watchdogs, due to their tenacity, protective nature and intelligence. Although Yorkies don’t tend to shed a lot of fur, Yorkies must be groomed frequently because the Yorkshire Terrier’s coat is very similar to a human hair rather than animal fur. As one of the most popular and well-loved dog breeds in America, Yorkies can provide years of companionship, love and affection to its owners. If you’re looking to complete your family with a Yorkshire Terrier, Puppies Direct can find the perfect Yorkie for you!
