Walking a Yorkshire Terrier
Yorkies are toy-sized — short, frequent potty breaks suit their small bladders, especially as puppies.
Small but spirited — Yorkies carry full energy in a tiny frame. Cold or wet weather calls for a coat or sweater. A harness is generally preferred over a neck collar given their delicate build. Short, frequent outings suit their size better than one long session; they tend to be bold and curious walkers regardless of the weather.
