Glorious hair and pointy ears aside, a Yorkie is more than a pretty face. Yorkies were first bred to hunt, and that fearless nature is still part of the breed’s personality today (they’re affectionately known as the “tomboy toy,” a reflection of their working-dog background).

Yorkies are typically called confident, bold, and headstrong—they’re the classic big-dog-in-a-small-body. They thrive on attention and activity and won’t be happy being toted everywhere. “If you think Yorkies are small dogs that love to be carried around in designer purses, you are only half right!” says Bonnie Hensel of Save A Yorkie Rescue. Yes, Yorkies are small, but they are active, spirited and enjoy long walks where they can exercise those little legs rather than being tucked in a bag.

While every dog is different, Yorkies are generally known to be difficult to house train, and Hensel affirms that this process can indeed be “challenging for first-time dog owners and certainly not for the faint of heart.”

As the name implies, the Yorkshire terrier is a terrier, but is considered part of the American Kennel Club “Toy” group. These diminutive dogs tend to be seven to eight inches tall and weigh about four to seven pounds when fully grown.

The Yorkie’s distinctive coat (sometimes worn floor-length, and often gathered into a top-knot ponytail) is more like human hair than dog fur. It also changes as the dog grows—Yorkie puppies are black and tan when they are very young, and as they mature, their coat takes on that steel-blue and gold color.

Yorkies are single-coated which means they don’t have an undercoat (and that they benefit from a jacket in cold weather). The Yorkie’s hair coat also means they are low-allergen and have a low tendency to shed (though no dog is completely “hypoallergenic;” read more about that term and about hypoallergenic dog breeds here.) That beautiful coat does take regular work to maintain—daily brushing is recommended, with professional grooming every six to eight weeks. Many Yorkie experts and owners suggest keeping them in a shorter, lower-maintenance “puppy cut.” Like many other small breeds, Yorkshire terriers have a relatively long lifespan. Yorkies generally have a life expectancy of 11-15 years. With that long lifespan it’s important to make plans for a long-term commitment before bringing a Yorkie home and make sure that you will be able to provide for them over their lifetime.
