Yorkshire Terrier

🧠 Temperament

He is social, loving, and entirely fueled by puppy-sized terrier chaos. Confident and lively, with more terrier boldness than their size suggests.

🎾 Exercise

Low to moderate — short walks plus play.

✂️ Grooming

High if kept long; much easier in a short cut. Dental care matters.

🏙️ In an LA apartment

Very apartment-friendly. Barking at hallway noise is the common complaint.
