Small in size but big in personality, the Yorkshire Terrier makes a feisty but loving companion.
The most popular toy dog breed in the U.S., the “Yorkie” has won many fans with his devotion to his owners, his elegant looks, and his suitability to apartment living.
Some Yorkshire Terriers are bright and quick to learn, while others are rather willful and opinionated. Yorkies often dislike walking on a leash and may dart to and fro until taught how to behave.
Well, while Yorkies continue to be one of the most beloved dog breeds, there are reasons to believe that Yorkshire Terriers are actually the worst dogs to live with… EVER!
Check out the 18 reasons why Yorkies are the worst dogs to live with on the next page!

This is Piper Rue and her 1st birthday is tomorrow! She has stolen our hearts. She loves to give kisses and sleep in your lap. She’s definitely a barker and goes to the bathroom where she wants to go! Need advice on getting this baby 100% potty trained!

Denise Nisey Elliott My yorkie had a liver shunt and lived to be almost 15. When she was about 2 or 3 she went limp and we thought she was dying. We rushed her to the vet but was awake when we got there… Through many tests she was diagnosed with the liver shunt. Vet put her on prescription KD canned food and lactolose… Later put on LD food. I think that saved her . She didn’t have any episodes after that. I put the lactolose on her food.

I’ve learned crate training is good first step. Going outside every 2 hours, over exaggerate your praises when she potties outside, and reward with a treat when you get back in.
I always put mine in a time out when she had accidents. Took me about 2 weeks to get her completely housebroken.

My girls use potty pads in the house. This way if they have to go they go on their pad. Just throw them in the washer n clean then up easily.
