About Sweetie Pie

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.

Local Climate & Pet Care

Winter

20°F to 42°F

Dec – Feb

Cold winds across the open Plains make wind chill a serious concern. Short-haired breeds need insulated coats for walks. Ice storms can make sidewalks hazardous, so keep walks short during icy conditions.

Spring

40°F to 70°F

Mar – May

Kansas tornado season peaks from April through June. Have a basement or interior room designated for pet shelter during severe weather. Strong winds can kick up dust and debris, so protect your pet during windy days.

Summer

68°F to 93°F

Jun – Aug

Hot, humid days with temperatures regularly in the 90s require early morning or evening walks. Provide shade and fresh water at all times. Thunderstorms with hail are common and can frighten noise-sensitive pets.
