Even the seven pound Yorkshire terrier was bred for a job; hunting vermin. These playful, energetic lap dogs are rated by the American Kennel Club as the 6th most popular dog breed in the United States. They are a small breed, categorized as "toy" by the AKC and they can get plenty of exercise with a game inside the house or a short walk around the block. Despite their size, they are stubborn and courageous and require training. Start your Yorkie off with potty training at a young age.
