A little about Yorkshire Terriers
Among one of the smallest dogs, Yorkshire Terriers do not always thrive among children and other pets, but with good training they make loving family pets. Despite its toy appearance, this dog is very much a Terrier and maintains a keen hunting instinct. This breed is ideal for those wanting to dote on their dog. They make excellent guard dogs, and do not require much space or excercise.
