IS A YORKIE THE RIGHT DOG FOR YOU?

People fall in love with tiny dogs!

They are like little toys!

But is a Yorkie right for you and your family?

Pros:
A true beauty
A lapdog who loves attention
Loyal to his owner
Vigilant watchdog

Cons:
Gorgeous coat must be groomed

AT LEAST three times a week -

unless you keep the coat short,

like a puppy cut.

S/he'll always bark - you can curb but not eliminate it
Usually do not get along with young children,

they prefer a quieter lifestyle
There’s enough terrier to cause them to chase moving

targets. Buy a good leather leash and body harness.

NOTE: I don’t recommend using a leash and collar for walks.

Attach a leash to a body harness, not a collar.

The collar is only to hold dog tags, not drag the dog around.
This is a small, somewhat fragile dog.

Tugging and pulling on the collar around your

dog’s neck can contribute to a collapsed trachea and

other neck damage. Use a body harness.

They do require attention and playtime.

They don't like being left alone

for hours on end.
