In a nutshell!

The Yorkshire Terrier is an outgoing , friendly little dog with tons of courage and 'spunk'. It truly is a tiny dog with the heart of a lion.

This breed makes a loyal, attentive companion and is generally good with children and other dogs but can be bossy or nippy if not well socialized or trained. A Yorkie will never believe it's a small dog, don't expect it to back down in a dispute.
