Yorkie Puppies

Yorkshire Terrier, or “Yorkie” puppies, are irresistibly cute and have the ability to melt your heart into a million tiny pieces. Before you run out to your local Yorkshire Terrier breeder (or better yet, your local Yorkie rescue group) to bring this adorable pup into your life, there are a few things to know about the breed.

1. They are peeing machines

This isn’t to scare you right off the bat, but Yorkies are a bit notorious for their bladders. The tiny pups are the kings and queens of not wanting to be too wet, too cold, or too hot, so they aren’t exactly keen on going outside to use the restroom. Arm yourself with puppy pads, housebreaking tips, and a lot of patience. Yorkies are potty-trainable, they just like to do it on their terms. An outdoor potty zone that is covered may help in this situation.

2. They are tiny as puppies…and fragile

How can you look at a Yorkie Puppy and NOT want to hug ‘em and squeeze ‘em? They are just so stinkin’ adorable and tiny. Because of their small stature as puppies, they are very fragile. Excessive handling by small children or an accidental unwatched step can be life-threatening to a Yorkie puppy. If you want to bring a Yorkie baby into your home that also has human children, be sure to have a lengthy discussion on how to play with your puppy without injuring them.
