They are not for everyone. Certainly not the easiest breed to train. I have had dogs all my life and just about met my match when I got Gracie. She was a little spit fire of a pill as a puppy and although she was the cutest thing on earth she was a stubborn little thing. I had to reassess all my training experiences and redo my approach with this one.
Go to the YTCA website and read about the history and personality. YT also has a good library that I suggest you look into. These are adorable little dogs but they are a lot of work and quite expensive to keep. It's all worth while if you have the kind of personality that will put up with a dog running your life. I think I trained Gracie pretty well but I still have days when I am quite sure she actually trained me.  Yorkshire Terrier Club of America |
LoL so true. After my mom visited she said well I love waffles very much.. But I don't want a small needy dog. She said she's just like a small child. And yes she is!
I'm very happy with my fur baby. And she's allergist approved! Lol
