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.

    We Yorkie lovers are the same. Those 15 rule of Yorlkie owners is so right on. If you see another yorkie, you cannot go by it without having to ask it name.. They rule you. When you are getting ready to go out they pout!! Very true, they actually pout. They can be very stubborn but, they are the most loving dog ever! They cannot sleep close enough to you..
