I do hope that you will enjoy reading all about Yorkies.
Yorkshire terriers are considered by many people to be a very intelligent dog, and they are also considered to be extremely loyal to their owners. I'm sure that comes as no surprise to you if you already own a Yorkie. They are indeed a most wonderful dog.
Some tests were carried out a while ago by a Stanley Coren, an animal intelligence expert, and this showed that Yorkies are indeed above average in intelligence. The Yorkie came 27th out of 132 breeds, not bad for a little dog! But not only can Yorkies obey simple commands, like most dogs, they can also respond well to long and complicated commands.
People have sometimes said to me that they believe their Yorkshire terrier understands everything that they say. My response is usually that you are probably quite right because they are indeed capable of understanding what you are saying and even sometimes what you are thinking.
For example, when you hug and kiss your Yorkie, and tell him, verbally, that you love him, he will come to understand that those words mean something good, even if he doesn't understand fully what they mean. However, when you tell your Yorkshire Terrier to get his ball, he will understand exactly what you mean, and he will be able to pick that ball out of a toy box full of other toys and bring it to you. When you ask your Yorkie if he wants to eat, he associates the word 'eat' with food, and he will respond in his way.
But not only are Yorkies clever little dogs, they are also extremely loyal to their owners. Not everybody agrees with this however and they sometimes give an example to prove their point. They will tell you that if they are out walking with their Yorkie, and he sees a rabbit, it does not matter what they say, their dog will give chase to the rabbit and just ignore them. This they say shows how unloyal they are, but they are completely wrong. All your Yorkie is doing is following his natural instincts, and as soon as the chase is over they will be back by your side.
Your Yorkshire Terrier should be highly confident, and when it comes to danger, he won't turn tail and run. Instead, he feels ten feet tall, and he has little regard for the size of the opponent. He will fight if he feels that you are in danger, without regard to his own safety. There have been numerous instances of Yorkshire Terriers turning into true life heroes, literally saving the lives of their owners.
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.
