The spunky Yorkshire Terrier can be a devoted and affectionate family pet. However, this breed is nicknamed the “Yappy Yorkie” for good reason. The Yorkie thinks that it is a big, powerful dog that needs to protect its family from any hint of danger and will bark at just about anything.

The Yorkshire Terriers I have known are all very loving with family members, but they are so small that they can be accidentally injured by children who love them too vigorously. This breed is intelligent, but is hard to housebreak, especially if you expect your dog to go outside in bad weather and get his little feet wet.
