Absolutely! Yorkshire Terriers, or Yorkies, may be small in size, but their personalities are anything but tiny. Here’s a breakdown of their typical temperament traits 🐾: 💖 Core Personality Traits - Affectionate & Loyal: Yorkies thrive on human interaction and form strong bonds with their owners. They love cuddles and being close to their people. - Energetic & Playful: These little dynamos are full of energy and enjoy regular playtime. Daily exercise is a must to keep them happy. - Intelligent but Stubborn: Yorkies are quick learners, but they can be a bit headstrong. Consistent, positive training works best. - Alert & Brave: Despite their size, Yorkies are bold and confident. They make surprisingly good watchdogs, often barking to alert you of strangers. - Social but Selective: They’re generally friendly but may be reserved around unfamiliar people or pets. Early socialization helps them adapt better. Terrier Instincts Yorkies come from a line of terriers bred to hunt vermin, so they often show: - High Alertness: Always ready to react to sounds or movements. - Determination & Courage: They’ll stand their ground—even against much larger animals. 🐶 Around Others - With Children: They can be good with older, respectful kids but may be overwhelmed by rough play. - With Other Pets: Generally okay with dogs and cats, but their prey drive might kick in around smaller animals like hamsters. If you’re thinking of getting a Yorkie or already have one, understanding these traits can help you build a strong, loving relationship. Want tips on training or socializing them next?
