They know how to be bossy and have quite the sassy attitude! Because of their spicy personality, they may not be the best around other stubborn minds like toddlers. Yorkies are extremely affectionate and make for close and loving companions. This small breed can live to be about 16 years of age.

Dogs having been living in California for as many as 14,000 years now, according to forensic evidence found in the region. As for the little islands off the coast of the United States’ third-largest state, Natives brought domesticated dogs there some 6,000 years as hunting companions. It’s possible that nearly all of those early dogs were replaced by European-bred species after the 17th century, except for the coyote—a member of the dog family!
