About Izzy

About Yorkshire Terrier Dogs

Yorkshire Terriers pack enormous personality into a tiny package. These spirited, affectionate dogs are confident and feisty, with a brave streak that belies their delicate appearance. Yorkies are deeply devoted to their owners and make excellent watchdogs despite their small stature.

When you adopt a Yorkie, you're getting a portable, loving companion who thrives on attention and closeness. They adapt beautifully to apartment living and travel, and their hypoallergenic coat makes them a good choice for allergy sufferers.
