I love yorkies, I used to own a yorky named fraizer. This was the best dog I had ever owned. I have had dogs since I was little most stayed in the house with me. As a house dog you would be hard pressed to find another as good. He loved everybody that he met. His biggest problem was he thought he was the size of a german Sheppard. One night he ran off the back porch after something and I could not stop him. I heard when the animal got him, what a terrible sound. I can only guess that it was a coyote, we hear them behind the house all the time. The next day in the light I found him. I never mourned so much over an animal. It has been 3 years this past October and I still miss him. He was 7 years old and I bought him as a pup.
Enough of the sad stuff. If you would like to find a good loving house dog a yorky is the best. (please don't use a puppy mill!!) I always kept his hair long but after about 4 years of taking care of it I finally decided to take him to the groomer. He hated having that long hair brushed and I know that the tangles had to hurt. These dogs don't shed you just need to keep their hair trimmed if you want it short. A yorkies hair will grow and drag the ground when properly taken care of. He was so cute when I picked him up and I swear he loved all that hair being gone. I also thought for some strange reason he could run faster. Maybe it was because he could see better.
