I have known several Yorkies. They are a lot of dog in a small package! Lots of people around here have small dogs, as we're in a city. The Yorkie I have known have had very strong personalities, and need an owner who is able to maintain an upper hand, or they can be little tyrants!

Henry was my friend's Yorkie. They are an older couple, and Henry ruled the roost! When we went to their house, Henry would greet visitors at the door. When we'd inevitably gather in basically a circle to sit and chat, Henry would run over to me, look me square in the eye, and then hop right up into my lap at the merest invitation. He'd only stay for a few minutes before he'd hop off and go try another lap!

Sadly, Henry went blind suddenly, which happens to some Yorkies. He ended up not adjusting well to not seeing, and after the second time he misjudged the stairs and tumbled down them, he was rehomed to a nice lady whose apartment was all on one floor. My friends were very sad, but they felt awful about Henry getting hurt in their three-story Victorian. He is now ruling the roost in his new home!
