Yorkshire Terrier · Biewer Terrier
Silky lap dog that barely sheds — big attitude, tiny paws
A glamorous apartment dog with hair, not fur — low-shedding and suited to mildly sensitive homes. Needs daily brushing or a puppy cut, plus firm training so the tiny terrier does not run the house.

Spirited yet sensitive Yorkies need a dedicated high-walled calming donut bed to feel sheltered from drafty floorboards and household commotion.
