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.

Let me try and explain this a bit better. If you repeatedly give your dog a hug and at the same time tell him that you love him, he will associate those words with good feelings. Its the same as when you say the word Walkies, its a ‘good feelings’ word, and your dog responds accordingly.

Well now, we know that Yorkshire Terriers are intelligent dogs, but are they Loyal? I say that yes, they most certainly are, in fact they are fiercely loyal. OK, so they will run off and chase squirrels and rabbits and ignore your commands to return, but what do you want, a dog, or a robot. Its natural for them to chase, but as soon as the chase is over they will be back at your side again.

So yes, your Yorkie is intelligent, and yes, he is very loyal, but on top of all that your wonderful Yorkie is quite fearless. When faced with danger, no matter what the size of the opponent he will not shirk or back off regardless of the challenge to his own safety. A fearless warrior indeed.

So, if you are looking for intelligence and loyalty, don’t disregard the Yorkshire Terrier, mistakenly thinking that he is no more than a pampered lap dog. You will be pleasantly surprised to learn that he is among the most intelligent, and the most loyal, of all canines.
