The Yorkie is not much of a yapper so it is unlikely that they would bark easily or persistently at everyday noises. This is another reason they do well living in apartments because they are not disruptive or noisy.
General Health Considerations
Yorkies enjoy generally good health and have no inherent health issues specific to them. These are really small dogs. They weigh very little and they can be carried around in a shoulder bag carrier quite easily.
Caring for your Yorkie
If you are a person that is willing to fuss over your dog’s grooming or are willing to invest the expense of a regular grooming session at a doggy parlour, Puppy Petite recommends this breed for you.
They have a low tolerance for cold or hot weather. You will need to ensure that your Yorkie has a warm place to sleep in winter (probably in the bed with you), and has a cool spot to chill out in the hot summer months.
Training and socializing
Puppy Petite only recommends this breed to potential owners who are willing to exercise their pet every day. Yorkies are a high-energy breed. They are usually quite playful. They need to work off some of that energy by going for long walks or for a run around a dog park. If they are not given this opportunity daily they can get quite snappy and frustrated.
