About Ziggy

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

40°F to 62°F

Dec – Feb

San Antonio’s mild winters are ideal for Labrador Retrievers. The greenway trails and McAllister Park provide great exercise opportunities. Labs can handle the occasional cold snap without needing extra gear.

Spring

52°F to 82°F

Mar – May

Labs shed their undercoat as San Antonio warms up. Brush frequently. Early spring is excellent for longer outings before heat builds. Keep Labs on heartworm prevention as mosquitoes become active.

Summer

72°F to 97°F

Jun – Aug

San Antonio’s heat and humidity make summer dangerous for active Labrador Retrievers. Exercise only in early morning or late evening. Labs love water, so access to a pool or splash pad helps them stay cool.

Fall

58°F to 85°F

Sep – Nov

September stays hot in San Antonio, but by mid-October Labrador Retrievers can enjoy the city’s extensive greenway trails comfortably. Fall is a great time for Lab adventures along the San Antonio River Walk paths.
