They are one of the breeds most suited for indoor living, as they have hair, not fur! They don't shed, unless they have a skin problem. Yorkies do need to visit a groomer, to either groom long fur or clip it, but the low cost of dog food for this breed makes up for it.
In the area of intelligence, they are considered, "above average" at #27.
Although they are terriers, Yorkies are not in the terrier group, and have a different personality than larger terriers, like Russels, Rats, and Pitbulls.
A man in our church has sometimes brought a Yorkie, Baxter, to our house. Notably, Baxter is the only dog that's been in our house since we moved in. He is very sweet, and from what I have seen of him, he is a quite and well behaved dog.
If you are looking for a small, lovable dog, and are willing to take care of the a dog with high grooming requirements, a Yorkie might be the right dog for you,
