Default Yorkshire Terriers

Hello

Does anyone have anything to say about Yorkshire Terriers? My daughter (and wife) would like one. I have always thought they were yappy, annoying little things but the one we went to see was quite peaceful and cute.

I want a Cocker Spaniel (as I had one up until a few years ago), but will probably lose ...

Intelligent and affectionate little chaps. In-laws had lots over the years.Bit yappy.

I prefer Spaniels. What about a Cavalier King Charles as a good compromise? dl

Jack Russell.

Perfect terrier - fully involved in the family, a proper terrier and they demand to be involved. Not yappy either - just very keen.

Yorkies are watered down terriers.

We`ve had one, never again they can be a bit one owner dog in our case my wife, neither me or the kids could go near him in the end. We then got one of these as a replacement.
