General Description
The Yorkie Russell is very lively and full of energy like the Jack Rusell. It may also love to chase small animals as it has the hunting instinct of both the Yorkie and the Jack Russell. They are great lap dogs because they are small and love cuddles. They are very intelligent and can be trained very quickly. The Yorkie Russell may be small but they love long walks and can become destructive in the home, by chewing things if they get bored. They are territorial and may be protective in the home.
Character
The Yorkie Russell is friendly but fearless. They get along with people and dogs their own size. With bigger dogs they may try to show their dominance which can cause problems during the first meeting. The Yorkie Russell can be dominant and need training to maintain a happy household.

Maintenance
The Yorkie Russell usually has a long coat which is silky like the Yorkshire Terrier. It will need bathing approximately once every month in a mild dog shampoo to prevent dry skin. They will need brushing daily to prevent matting. Nails should be clipped every 2-3 months and their teeth cleaned regularly as they are prone to tooth decay like the Yorkshire Terrier. They are hardy little dogs who love to run but may be prone to joint problems.
Ideal Environment
The Yorkie Russell could live in a house or an apartment but need a garden to run around in. They are good with children and are very affectionate. They will let you know when they get upset and go to their bed to escape the attention.
