[edit] Appearance

The Yorkie Pin's (as with most mixed-breed dogs) appearance varies significantly. It will take characteristics from both of its parents. One consistent trait of the breed is its size, normally weighing 6-8lb. Normally the Yorkie Pin's general build will be somewhere between that of its parents, with many having the staure of the miniature pinscher, and the longer hair of a yorkie. It usually is a combination of black,tan, and maybe shades of white.

[edit] Attitude

Yorkie Pins are usually very intelligent and eager to please their owners. These traits make them very trainable. They learn quickly and seem to feel as if they are much larger than their size. They can be good watch dogs. However, without proper training barking can become excessive.
