There just were not enough good resources out there.
It is no secret that Yorkshire Terriers are feisty, clever and jolly dogs. Big spirit, small package. Being the owner of such a strong personality can be genuinely challenging, especially if you are new to the breed. Coco came into our lives and made that very clear from day one.
Owners encounter everything. Emergency vet visits, unexpected injuries, diet questions, grooming challenges, behavioral quirks that no generic small dog article ever prepares you for. We looked for answers online and kept running into the same problem. There simply were not enough practical, Yorkie-specific resources to help with any of it.
“That is why we started this whole project. OurYorkie.com is the resource we wished had existed when we were starting out.”
Coco. The tiny fierce inspiration behind everything on this site.

This site comes from a genuine love of animals.
Behind OurYorkie is a lifelong animal lover based in Buenos Aires. Alongside Coco there is also Pupi, a retired racehorse I rescued and gave a second chapter. Watching him settle into a calmer, happier life has been one of the most rewarding things I have ever done.
Caring for a large animal changes the way you pay attention. You become very good at reading body language, understanding what calm looks like versus what tension looks like. Those skills transfer, surprisingly, to understanding a tiny four pound dog too. Between Coco, Pupi and the many dogs I have fostered over the years, animals have shaped my life in ways I would not trade for anything.
Every piece of content on this site is written with one question in mind. Would this actually help a real Yorkie parent today, with a real dog in their lap?
Pupi. A different kind of companion, but equally loved.
