Yorkshire Terriers are tiny companions with big confidence and a glamorous, silky coat. Yorkies are affectionate with their people, alert to everything around them, and surprisingly brave for their size. They love short play sessions, training games, and being included in daily activities. Keep that coat long or trim it short—either way, routine grooming and dental care matter. Gentle socialization and consistent manners turn Yorkies into charming, portable companions.
Yorkshire Terriers originated in England, where small terriers were bred to catch rats in mills and mines. Over time they became refined into the elegant toy companions popular today.
