Adopting A Yorkshire Terrier

When you decide to get a Yorkshire Terrier the most crucial decision is whether or not to purchase a male or female. Understanding the different characteristics between the two will enable you to come to a decision and make the best choice.

Probably the most obvious characteristic is that a male Yorkshire Terrier is somewhat bigger than the female and may tend to eat a lot more than a female. Males are also a few inches taller and in some cases more self-sufficient and aggressive.

Female Yorkies are somewhat smaller, much less aggressive and come into heat twice yearly. Owners may also find that females are easier to train than males.

Overall, whether female or male, and if you decide to take a yorkies for adoption or buy one, Yorkshire Terriers can prove to be a loyal friend to anyone.
