Unlike some other small breeds (Toy Poodle, Pomeranian),
Yorkies seem to recognize the limitations of their size,
and are almost never aggressive. Yorkie personalities
vary greatly apart from this, and they might be docile
lap dogs or yappy and endlessly playful.
Yorkies typically get along well with cats or other
dogs, and love to play together in groups. However,
they are still terriers, and even an old, sedentary
lap dog will eagerly hunt rodents. Because they are
so small, they are easily injured, so while they will
get along very well with children, it can be dangerous
for the Yorkie to keep it in a house with small or abusive
children. Also, despite their small size, if continually
provoked or if attacked, like all dogs, they pack a
surprisingly powerful bite.
