Yorkshire Terriers

yorkies are good with children that they grow up with. and really, it depends on how you raise your dog. yorkies need a very firm hand in training. they are willful and stubborn but very smart. do not underestimate yorkies. if you plan on getting a yorkie make sure you are very patient with raising two kids (the yorkie and your son). yorkies are fragile dogs so you have to make sure that your child wouldn't mishandle the yorkie, and vise versa. unfortunately for me, my chewy is spoiled and not very good with kids. it takes a lot of time and patience before he gets used to any kid, before he starts getting all sweet and friendly with them. before you buy your yorki i suggest that you take your baby with you in visiting the puppy to check if the dog is okay with your kid. yorkie puppies are very gentle so i think it's really up to how the puppy was raised. i hope this helps.

Thanks! The puppies are at my neighbor's house, so he has seen them a few times already. We'll have to see how it goes. :)

What do you all like/dislike about your yorkies? I have known a few and really like them. We are considering getting one. In fact, our neighbors have pups that would be ready around Xmas. Not sure I can make the financial commitment right now. Might be better to wait anyway, as my son is only 20 months old and we need to fix our fence. But I am still interested in learning more. Are they good with kids? How about barking? I think they are just so cute. Personally, I would normally be way more inclined to rescue a mutt. A yorkie is the only purebred I've ever considered. Our neighbor has three of them and they are so cute when they play together. We would probably really like to have two, but I bet that is out of the question! So, please someone answer about these adorable dogs!

What, I don't understand what you're saying? I have mine cut in a short cut as she lives in the country and it's much easier to keep up. She had her hair long for a while, but it was a problem.

he was just describing the appearance of the yorkshire terrier breed. their hair is parted on the face and the color of their hair is blue and tan. please post more pictures of rosy.

I Love my yorkshire terrier. He definitely has a lot of character and he is so playful. He is the smartest dog I have ever seen and I am thankful for having him in my life. As a nursing student I barely have time to enjoy the day, but my little baby takes all the stress away when he begs to play fetch. He is just the sweetest thing!
