About the Yorkshire Terrier

The Yorkshire Terrier is a small dog breed originating in England (Yorkshire). Adult dogs typically weigh 4 to 7 pounds and live 12 to 16 years. The breed is described as confident, vocal, one-person-bonded, hypoallergenic-coat.

Single-person or small-household homes with time for daily brushing and tolerance for vocalisation. Households with very young kids (the breed is fragile at 4–7 pounds) or dense condo buildings.

Adult Yorkshire Terriers need about 30 minutes of daily exercise; adolescent dogs typically need 45 minutes. The coat is long-coated with low shedding, and weekly brushing keeps the coat manageable.
