Okay, I think some of the posts here are maybe a leeeetle confrontational, but there are points worth considering. Dogs need a lot of contact, so will this family be able to provide the necessary human and/or animal companionship? Yorkies cannot be outside dogs. I'm sure there are some exceptions, but I'd say 99.9% of the time, they need to live indoors. If an outside dog is a must, don't get a yorkie.
Even if this dog lives outside, it will probably not want to be outside on a bitterly cold winter night, so again, something to consider.
I think it's great that you are asking, that's the best way to get information! I am sure you will make a good decision. |
