Celebrating the Little Dog with the Big Attitude
If you’ve ever met a Yorkie, you already know—these tiny dogs don’t play around. They may only weigh a few pounds, but they come with a whole lot of personality. And on August 1, we get to celebrate everything we love about them.
National Yorkie Day is all about honoring these fearless, fun-loving, and often hilarious pups who have stolen hearts around the world.
Why Yorkies Are So Special
Yorkies aren’t just cute—they’re bold, smart, and packed with energy. They strut like they own the block and have a bark that says “I’ve got this” no matter who’s around.
They’re also super loyal and love being close to their humans. Whether they’re curled up on your lap, tucked under your arm on a walk, or showing off for the camera, a Yorkie makes life more fun.
Plus, they’re great for folks who want a small dog with a big heart, and they happen to be a top pick among hypoallergenic breeds too.
A Few Fun Ways to Celebrate Your Yorkie:
-
Take them on their favorite walk (sniff breaks encouraged)
-
Bake a batch of pup-safe treats
-
Give them a little spa day—brushing, bows, and belly rubs
-
Share your favorite Yorkie pic on social media (they love the spotlight)
-
Support a local rescue that helps small-breed dogs
Pro Tip: Make Walks Easier for Both of You
Yorkies love to explore, and that means—yep—potty breaks. Our 2 Fur Doodie Poop Saddle is perfect for keeping things clean and simple on the go. It clips onto their harness, holds clean bags and the full ones, and keeps your hands free. You handle the leash, we’ll handle the mess.
Here’s to the Yorkies We Love
From their scruffy little faces to their big-dog attitudes, Yorkies remind us that courage and love aren’t about size. If your pup has ever made you laugh, protected you from a squirrel, or warmed your feet on a cold day—today’s their day.
Give them an extra treat, a belly rub, or a cozy spot on your lap. They’ve earned it.
Happy National Yorkie Day!
