Description

This was Mandy, a Yorkshire Terrier. She was Ron’s last dog when we met, but Mandy soon became my dog too. She was so loyal, protected me when I lay on the couch with a headache and pushed Ron away with her front paws while barking. Once Ron and I met, Mandy spent most of her time with me since I worked at home. But in the evening, she always returned to Ron’s recliner when he finally sat down for the evening. She had two loyalties and knew them well.

About Yorkies: ACK Breed Popularity – 10 of 197. Average head height is 7-8 inches. The average weight is 7 pounds. Life expectancy is 10-15 years. This breed is among the Toy Terriers. Yorkies earned their living as ratters in mines and mills long before they became the beribboned lapdogs of Victorian ladies.

Yorkies can be a difficult breed in that they are independent and may run away when off leash. They can nip your heels just because they feel like it. They will overturn garbage cans and get into and tear up just about anything they feel like destroying. However, we were fortunate that Ron had found her after she was trained. Mandy was obedient, well-behaved and protective. Like all Yorkies, she did bark a lot. I couldn’t stop her from doing that. I got used to it. I loved her.
