Yorkshire Terrier Dog Breed Reviews

I currently own two yorkies and I absolutely love these little guys. They're very loyal, smart, and they don't shed. They are great with my kids and my kids adore them. I must say that yorkies require dedicated owners. Since they are prone to various health problems, they need an owner who is willing to shell out money on vet bills. My older yorkie (he is 8) requires a special diet and is on lifelong medications. Of course, not all yorkies are destined to have health problems but I think that is something all potential owners should consider. All in all, I love my yorkies and can't see myself with...

I purchased my first Yorkshire Terrier in 1996 a year before my son was born.  My husband and I both had allegies and couldn't be around shedding animals.  I researced non shedding allergy frindly pets and Yorkies were on the list.  The breeder where I purchased my first Yorkie suggested going with the larger puppy in the litter.  I brought him home and named him Bubba.  He had a fantastic personality, was super smart, and didn't bother our allergies.  Bubba was phenominal with my kids and we all cried for days when he passed last summer at age 11.  While Bubba was still living we purchased...

I grew up with an adorable Yorkie and would recommend the breed to anyone who wants a very devoted dog and can handle their fragility. They are quick to defend their "family," so it's a good idea to make sure they get to know anyone new as gently as possible.

There are only two real drawbacks with the breed:

1) They are fragile. While they're pretty good with kids, you don't want them around anyone who wants to roughhouse with the dog.

2) To meet the AKC standard their ears are clipped and their tails are docked. If your dog is "just" a pet, don't bother putting the animal through the surgical...

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....

Mr. Rusty has been with me from the beginning; straight from the breeder to my loving home!

Although I haven't ever purchased the same breed twice (not necessarily because I've had any issues), but mostly out of respect to my former pet: I might rethink this choice.

Yorkies make wonderful pets, through and through.

I don't know what I would do without my Yorkies!!  They are the loves of our lives and fill our house with so much love!! 

 I don't think I ever stopped to realize how much I love them, until we lost our little Jordie!  He had a Cleft Palate, that left him him with a hole in one nostril.  But it never really bothered him.

He was such a lover!  He would greet us every time we came home, with something in his mouth.  It didn't matter to him, whatever he could find on the floor or on the patio, it was his prize to us!  A wrapper, a tag, a leaf, anything he could find.  We have never had...

Before I begin, let me say that I'm incredibly biased. My little Yorkie is 5 years old and she's the love of my life. Yorkshire Terriers, affectionately known as "Yorkies," offer big personalities in a small package. Though members of the Toy Group, they are terriers by nature and are brave, determined, investigative and energetic. Yorkies are easily adaptable to all surroundings, travel well and make suitable pets for many homes. Due to their small size, they require limited exercise, but need daily interaction with their people. A daily walk is also recommended. Yorkies who do not get to go...
