Small dogs can be fun pets, and of the small breeds Yorkies tend to be the best, but little dogs are actually more work than big dogs as far as care goes, and purbred dogs are more likely to have medical problems and genetic disorders.

Yorkies do make good dogs if you have a lot of energy and time to spend with them. Yorkies are high energy dogs and need to be exercised daily. They also bark a lot and can be very loud. Yorkies need a lot to keep them busy, so if you work away from home and aren't home very often then you definately should not get a Yorkie. If that is the opposite of you then a Yorkie is the perfect dog to get

it all depends on your idea of a good pet. If you want an animal that is going to stay up under u all the time and never want you out of it's sight, then yes a yorkie is a good pet. they make excallent lap dogs. But they can be very clingy. They ARE a dog you wouldn't want to leave alone for a long period of time because they WILL chew up your stuff. Yorkies love companionship and strive for attention, so if you plan on gettting a dog of this breed, you should be a person who stays home a fair amount of the time.

In my experience, a household with children or other pets do not make a good home for Yorkies. They're BIG dogs with tiny bodies and do not like to share. Of course, training has a lot to do with it. My mothers Yorkie was fun to play with but extremely territorial and a jealous little thing.
They're also high maintenance, with lots of grooming, bathing, and hair cuts. I loved my moms dog, but I won't be getting one for myself.
But yes, they can be good to have as a pet if your willing to put up with the hard work involved.

if you like a small dog yes...but if you are looking for company and true affection...no. The yorkshire terrier is a wonderful dog but very selfcentered and independant. You judge!!

As long as you don't have children. Because they love getting pampered and might be jealous of another child.
I have a King Charles Cavalier and a Shih-Tzu, the one who nips at my 5yr old son is the Shih-Tzu adn he's only 3lbs 4oz!!!
