Yorkshire Terrier
A small dog with a big personality, the Yorkshire Terrier is bold, intelligent, and full of charm.
Yorkshire Terriers are one of the most popular toy breeds, known for their silky coat and confident demeanor. Despite their size, they are spirited, brave, and often unaware of their small stature. These little dogs thrive on attention and do best with owners who enjoy interaction and regular play. Their grooming needs are high, but their companionship makes it worthwhile.
