12 Realities New Yorkie Owners Must Accept

by pawbuzz on in Dogs 891

The Yorkie has a bold personality and seems unaware of its small size. They are devoted to their owners, and become very attached to their family and are not always ideal for the very elderly or small children with their lively and exuberant nature.

yorkie 13Most will prefer to share your bed if you allow. They are tolerant of older children, provided they are not treated like toys and have their own space to which they can retreat.

Full of energy, they can keep up with kids, but because of their small size, toy breeds like the Yorkie can be injured relatively easily by falls, other animals, or human clumsiness…

…so they need more supervision with the smaller children and are usually not recommended for this type of family.

They are eager to play and get into any trouble they might find. They have a mind of their own and this feisty, sweet little dog doesn't like to do anything he makes up his mind not to do!

Even though this breed is categorized as a toy breed, there is a lot of terrier in them. They like to be busy, inquisitive, and bold.

While a toy breed, and at various times a greatly pampered one, the Yorkshire is a spirited dog that definitely shows its inner personality.

If you are considering to own a yorkshire terrier, or you’ve just become a new yorkie owner, there are some realities you do need to fully accept.

    Well you forgot a few things.
    They love to hunt small varmints.
    They like stink so if you see them rolling in the yard guess what, they found some stink.
    You will be constantly changing your schedule to fit there’s and you want even mind.
    And you will talk to them all the time.

    My Yorkie never had a problem with barking! I also trained her with a product called “Pet Corrector”, it comes in a can and it’s compressed air, when you spray the can, it makes a loud noise, wich stops her immediately! Now, when she growls, she’ll turn around and look at me, cause she knows that she’s not aloud to bark……it really works on small dogs, but you have to start when they’re young!

    I have 2 male 1 1/2 year olds. The are alike in a lot of ways but only one bad boy chews up my shoes and phone charger. He climbs up on things to get to it. He opens sliding closet doors. I love them both but how do I stop him? Lol
