Yorkshire Terriers are very unique dogs because they’re tiny dogs with big personalities.
Yorkies come in two sizes: toy and full grown. But they normally don’t weigh over seven pounds. Either way, they are great pets for those who want a dog, but don’t have a big enough space to get a bigger dog.
Sure they’re small, but don’t let that mislead you. They are great watch dogs and have they act like they’re a full-sized dog when they feel like they need to protect their territory or their loved ones.
A Yorkie is a Terrier…and terriers are naturally hunters. Being a terrier by blood, they have great intelligence and are able to work their way around obstacles. They have great hunting abilities…which can be useful if you have rats and other vermin’s running around. They’re great for protecting the house, yards and other things…and sure will bark loudly at any strangers around their territories. They do a great job letting their owners know about strangers and animals that are lingering around.
These dogs are big at heart and sure are mighty for their size.
