Care Guide
Yorkies need regular grooming for their long, silky coat. Despite their small size, they have bold personalities and need socialisation. They can be fragile and should be supervised around young children.
Exercise Needs
Short daily walks and indoor play are sufficient. Their small size means moderate activity meets their needs.
Grooming
Daily brushing for long coats. Many owners opt for a shorter "puppy cut" for easier maintenance. Regular dental care is essential.
