Yorkies are long-lived and hypoallergenic (the coat is more like human hair than animal fur), and they also make fine little watchdogs. One of their most stunning attributes is their long, silky coat of steely black and tan fur. As they age, the black turns slightly to reveal a striking silver.

Yorkshire Terriers have large personalities that contrast their stature. They are very happy in any space as long as they are with their owner. As a toy breed, Yorkshire Terriers are wonderful for apartments or small homes. They do need moderate amounts of exercise in order to stay calm and keep your home looking neat and tidy.
A Yorkshire Terrier is a good fit training-wise for a new or first-time owner. Yorkies are fairly easy to train and will be patient with their owner. Be sure to use positive reinforcement with them because they are sensitive and can become stubborn easily. For the best results, you should train your pup with the help of a local trainer. In doing so, you will have more confidence and knowledge and bond better with your dog during training sessions.
A Yorkshire Terrier generally lives for 13 to 16 years.
