Yorkshire Terrier

The Yorkshire Terrier, commonly called a Yorkie, is a small, elegant dog breed known for its silky, fine coat and lively personality. Originating from England, they typically weigh around 4 to 7 pounds and stand about 7 to 8 inches tall. Yorkies are intelligent, energetic, and affectionate, often forming strong bonds with their owners. Despite their petite size, they are confident and alert, making them good watchdogs. They require regular grooming due to their long, silky hair, and they thrive in active households that can provide mental and physical stimulation.
