Despite their small size, the Yorkshire Terrier is very protective of both their home and loved ones. They are not fearful dogs and will show their strong spirit when guarding what matters to them, whether it’s the house, the garden, or even the car.
Walking my Yorkshire: How often should I take my Yorkie out?
Yorkshire Terriers don’t require a lot of daily exercise, making them ideal for people who spend a lot of time away from home or live in small apartments. Our furry friend will be happy with simple walks around the apartment, garden, or patio.
Although that’s enough, it’s clear they won’t say no to trips to the park for extra exercise and socializing with other dogs.
Take them to the countryside, and you’ll see how happy they get digging and running around like crazy!
Yorkshire Terriers are very sociable.
As mentioned earlier, these dogs get along very well with people and other dogs.
When it comes to their owners, Yorkshires know exactly when you come home, and they won’t go to sleep until you arrive. Give them a hug when you get back!
It’s important to remember, as with any dog breed, not to spoil them too much, as this can lead to behavioral problems over time. Proper training is essential for good coexistence.
How should I take care of my Yorkshire?
This breed often has a tendency to develop cataracts or other hereditary eye problems.
They can also suffer from a condition that causes lameness, so it’s important to regularly visit a trusted veterinarian to quickly and effectively detect any issues your furry friend might have.
You probably already know the basic care guidelines for your Yorkshire: good hygiene, a diet suited to their breed and weight, enough exercise to keep them healthy and fit, and special attention to their coat to maintain that beautiful shine that everyone envies. And above all, lots of love!
