What we love about Yorkiepoos
Lively little charmer perfect for small-space living
Yorkiepoos are generally friendly with everyone but can be a little snappy if pushed. Socialization and training will help prevent them from becoming spoiled misfits. They can be fragile because of their size, so they need families who’ll keep them protected.
