You may be trying to decide if you want a new Yorkshire Terrier puppy or adult dog. Maybe you have been thinking about getting a dog for quite awhile, but you finally decided that you now have the necessary amount of time, patience and financial resources to get a Yorkshire Terrier.
When choosing a Yorkshire Terrier it is helpful to think of the life-long commitment to your canine companion.
Here are some example comparisons between choosing a Yorkshire Terrier puppy or a Yorkshire Terrier adult dog.
Yorkshire Terrier Puppies:
Usually look very adorable
For the first few months of their lives, Yorkshire Terrier puppies usually need to be supervised and trained, including house training (which can take some time).
Puppies can whine, bark, cry and chew.
Sometimes puppies don't sleep through the night very easily.
With a Yorkshire Terrier puppy you can try to train him into the dog that you would like him to be when he grows up. You may have more influence in helping to develop his personality.
Adult Yorkshire Terrier Dog:
May be more clam
May already having more training in place
An adult Yorkshire Terrier may have developed his own personality at this point.
It is your choice as to whether you decide to get a new Yorkshire Terrier puppy or an adult Yorkshire Terrier. Just remember that it is very possible for an adult Yorkshire Terrier to bond with his new family just as easily as a new Yorkshire Terrier puppy would!
