Oklahoma Yorkies

Honestly, Yorkies should probably be called the potato chips of the dog world because around here, “you can’t have just one” is less of a saying and more of a lifestyle. One Yorkie somehow turns into two. Then somebody says, “Well, this one needs a friend.” Next thing you know, half the family is covered in tiny dogs with bows, opinions, and absolutely no respect for personal spaces,

At Oklahoma Yorkies™, rehoming fees vary based on the puppy’s size, gender, heritage, lineage, and individual care needs. Tiny puppy, giant personality — that part comes standard. Your rehoming fee helps support the care that goes into raising each puppy, including socialization, structured leadership training, wellness checks, routine care, and professional veterinary services. Could some things be done cheaper? Probably. Could we order everything online, cross our fingers, and let YouTube University become the family veterinarian? Also probably.

But we are not doing that.

We believe licensed professionals should handle professional medical care. Our puppies receive appropriate wellness checks and veterinary attention throughout important stages of development because we would much rather prevent a problem than discover one after your new four-pound supervisor has already taken over your house.

There are puppies available elsewhere for lower rehoming fees, particularly when less veterinary care, documentation, socialization, or training is provided. That is perfectly fine — it is simply not how we operate. Around here, every puppy gets treated like they already own the place. And honestly, most of them seem to know it.

Yorkies: Tiny Bodies, Very Big Opinions

Yorkshire Terriers can vary quite a bit in adult size. While breed standards describe a much narrower range, pet Yorkies and Yorkie mixes seen in family settings may be smaller or larger depending on genetics, bloodline, nutrition, and development.

At Oklahoma Yorkies™, the puppies we typically rehome are on the smaller side. We work with a variety of sizes, colors, and bloodlines, with many of our puppies expected to mature within a petite companion-dog range.

Common coat colors and markings may include black, tan, brown, gold, and occasional white markings on the chest, depending on lineage and genetics.

Playful, Social and Attached to Their People

Yorkies are active, curious, playful little dogs that often form very strong bonds with their families.

They love attention.

Actually, “love attention” may be an understatement.

A Yorkie usually prefers to know:

• Where you are
• What you are doing
• Why you left the room
• Whether the snack in your hand is technically theirs
• And why nobody consulted them before making plans

They can be energetic, confident, affectionate, loyal, and surprisingly fearless for such a small dog.

Many Yorkies enjoy games like fetch, interactive toys, short walks, training exercises, and anything that involves their favorite humans.

They are intelligent and often learn quickly, although they can occasionally develop the famous Yorkie attitude of:

“I heard you. I’m just considering whether your request benefits me.”

Starting positive training and socialization early can help develop good manners and confidence.

Yorkies and Children

Many properly socialized Yorkies enjoy interacting with both adults and children.

Because every puppy has an individual temperament—and because Yorkies are physically small and delicate—young children should always be supervised when handling or playing with them.

Gentle handling, respectful play, and early socialization help create positive experiences for both the puppy and the child.

Yes, Yorkies Really Can Love Clothes

One of the funniest parts of Yorkie ownership is discovering just how comfortable some of them become with a wardrobe.

Sweaters? Absolutely.

Holiday costumes? Bring them out.

Tiny coat? Very important.

Boots? Apparently we are going somewhere fancy.

Many Yorkies become accustomed to clothing when introduced to it gradually and comfortably. Some genuinely seem to enjoy the extra attention that comes with showing off a new outfit.

Take the outfit off, and don't be surprised if your Yorkie looks at you like you just canceled Fashion Week.

Every dog is different, of course, so clothing should always fit properly and never restrict movement, breathing, or comfort.

Other Dogs and Pets

Yorkies can get along wonderfully with other dogs and household pets when they are properly introduced and socialized.

The important thing to remember is that Yorkies sometimes have absolutely no understanding of their own size.

Your five-pound Yorkie may look at a 70-pound dog and think:

“Finally. Someone my size.”

For that reason, interactions with larger animals should always be supervised. A much larger dog may unintentionally injure a tiny Yorkie even during friendly play.

The Tiny Watchdog

Yorkies are naturally alert and often notice everything happening around them.

A rabbit in the yard?

Yorkie Security has been notified.

A delivery truck?

Perimeter breach.

Someone walked past the window wearing a suspicious hat?

Full investigation underway.

Yorkies may bark at unfamiliar people, animals, vehicles, or unusual noises. Some are naturally quieter than others, and consistent training, exercise, socialization, and mental stimulation can help manage unnecessary barking.

They can also become bored when left alone for long periods. Providing toys, activity, companionship, and an appropriate routine helps keep those busy little minds occupied.

Small Dog. Huge Personality.

Yorkies may be tiny, but their personalities can fill an entire house.

They are affectionate, intelligent, playful, confident, entertaining, and often completely convinced that the family exists specifically to serve them.

And somehow, we are all perfectly fine with that.
