Care:

Yorkies need daily grooming to keep their long, silky coats free from tangles. Regular brushing, baths, and trimming are essential. They also need regular dental care and gentle training from an early age to prevent small-dog syndrome. Despite their size, they enjoy walks and indoor playtime.
