Yorkies aren’t just charming companions; they also have a fascinating history and unique traits that set them apart from other breeds. The Yorkshire Terrier was originally bred in 19th-century England to work in textile mills, hunting rats.
Another fascinating aspect of Yorkies is their hypoallergenic coat. Unlike most dog breeds that have fur, Yorkies have hair, which is more similar to human hair. This means they shed much less, making them an excellent choice for people with allergies. Dog hair doesn’t coat my clothes.
Lola is, without a doubt, the best dog ever. I might be a little biased since she’s my dog but Yorkies like Lola are tiny and they have big and sweet personalities. Lola brings lots of fun into my life.
Lola can do many tricks, especially when someone scratches her. She’s also really protective, even though she’s a little dog. If someone walks by our house or rings the doorbell, she barks like crazy and honestly, it’s kind of comforting because we have a guard dog.
Another thing about Yorkies is how perfect they are for any space. Lola’s favorite thing to do is just sleep and eat. Plus, after all her zoomies, she turns into the best cuddle buddy. There’s nothing better than having her snuggled up next to me while I watch Netflix or finish up my homework.
What makes Yorkies like Lola amazing is how much love they give. She’s always wagging her tail and so excited to see me, even if I’ve only been gone for five minutes. Lola always waits at the door for everyone when they come home.
I believe a little dog is one of the best dogs you can have, plus Yorkies have a life span of 13-16 years. Thankfully Lola is turning 10 this December so I hope I have much more time with her!

Everything you say about this breed is absolutely true.
My Yorkie will be 16 in August. He has signs of dementia and loss of hearing according to my vet. His coat is shiny and is well hydrated.
One thing to note though, is that around age 15 the activity slows down and the confusion kicks in. This is true for mine may not be for all.
