I do hope that you will enjoy reading all about Yorkies.

Among the various breeds of dogs, many people are surprised to find that Yorkshire Terriers are more than pampered pets who ride around in cars and stick their heads up out of their owner’s handbags. In fact, Yorkshire Terriers are not only loyal little dogs, they are incredibly intelligent. They are considered to be one of the most intelligent breeds.

Dr. Stanley Coren, an animal intelligence expert, determined that Yorkshire Terriers are above average in terms of intelligence. Out of 132 breeds tested, the Yorkshire Terrier ranked 27th. Yorkshire Terriers are so intelligent that they can do better than obeying one simple command at a time, like most breeds. The Yorkie can follow a series of long and complicated commands.

You may be tempted to think at times that your Yorkie knows and understands all that you’re saying. Well if you think this it’s probably because you’re absolutely right. Yorkies are indeed perfectly capable of understanding all that you say and mean.
