About Sparky’s Breed:
The Yorkshire Terrier (known as a Yorkie) is a tiny dog with a big personality. They are known for their companionship, charm, confidence, and loyalty. Yorkies bond closely with their humans and love to snuggle. They can be playful and enjoy games, short walks, and mental stimulation. With proper socialization, they do well with kids, dogs, and even cats. Yorkies have long, silky coats that require regular grooming and trimming.
