Snippets: This breed " Yorkshire Terrier" is an irresistibly cute combination of small size and adventurous terrier spirit. They need lots of attention and time with their family. Long hours of being left alone is not for them as they crave close physical contact and affection. Have high prey-drive and will chase any little creature that scurries away.Tend to get yappy at times and are difficult to housetrain. Due to small size, they are better around older children.
