Trinket is a yorkie/jack russell, weighs about 7lbs and is a frisky thing. Would a yorkie be a good match or should I look for something else? People down the road have 2 yorkies and they're timid little things - I find that so unattractive. What is the breed standard - in your personal opnion?

I heard they live about 15-20 years.I think a yorkie would be a good match for your terrier mix. And a dog is only as timid as you make them...if you expose them to a lot of different people or other dogs, and encourage them to be friendly, they will be. Mine are very outgoing and love everybody. Yorkies rule!
