17 Amazing Facts About Yorkies You Might Not Know

#7 Do Yorkies like to cuddle?

A lover of all things comfortable, the Yorkshire terrier enjoys cuddling with loved ones and snuggling into everything soft and fluffy. And for you, their silky coat isn't too bad for petting.

#8 How long can a Yorkie puppy hold its pee?

You can expect a Yorkie puppy to be able to 'hold it' for a maximum of one hour for every month of their age. So, a 2-month-old Yorkie should be able to go for two hours, a 3-month-old Yorkie for three hours, and so on. This is approximate, and you may find your dog can last longer, but don't push it.

#9 The thin coat of the Yorkshire Terrier requires special grooming, otherwise it becomes easily brittle and loses its silky appearance.

Regular brushing and combing is therefore essential, especially to get rid of the dirt that easily collects in the long hair. A major advantage for many owners, however, is that the breed does not exhibit severe seasonal shedding.
