Welcome to Yorkie Talk. Happy to see you are researching the breed before jumping into getting one.

Yorkies love being with their humans as much as possible. They can be cuddly. My boys love to snuggle, but like most Yorkies, they are also very active. Most need a lot of activity, stimulation and exercise.

Yorkie puppies are particularly energetic. The first year is like having a highly mobile toddler. Training can be challenging, particularly potty training.

Cuddly yes, but not completely lap dogs.

Vet bills: be sure to research the cost of basic care in your area and be prepared for the unexpected. Luxating patellas or a liver shunt can run into the thousands. Same with pancreatitis. Pet insurance is recommended. Edit to add: dental cleanings will be necessary along the way.

Research the breeder carefully for the best odds at having a healthy dog.

Best wishes in making your decision.
