Yorkshire terriers may think they are big and scary, but in reality, they are tiny and not threatening. They do, however, bark, which can alert you to intruders or other dangers.

The Yorkshire terrier may be small in stature, but the dogs are big in personality.

Fondly called, “Yorkies,” these adorable little dogs can struggle with a variety of health issues.

Common Yorkshire terrier health problems include bad knees, skin allergies, retinal dysplasia, collapsed tracheas, and more.

They also are considered a non-shedding breed.
