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.
