Summary

Yorkshire Terriers are spunky, proud, intelligent, majestic little dogs with long locks of flowing hair, a commanding presence, and an attitude ten times their stature. Yorkies are not only the perfect size to accompany city dwellers in about-town totes, but they have the energy and attitude to rule over a backyard in the 'burbs. This constant companion is a little dog in a big package, and is sure to charm his way into your life. Book jacket.
