The Yorkie Apso is a small, designer dog breed hybrid, combining traits from the Yorkshire Terrier and the Lhasa Apso. It typically features a long, silky coat, expressive eyes, and a compact, sturdy build. Known for its playful and affectionate nature, this breed is well-suited for apartment living. Yorkie Apsos exhibit a strong sense of independence and can be quite alert, making them excellent watchdogs. Their sociable and intelligent demeanor requires regular interaction and mental stimulation.

The Yorkie Apso is not a wild animal species but a domesticated dog breed, resulting from a cross between the Yorkshire Terrier and the Lhasa Apso. As such, it does not have a native region in the wild. However, the parent breeds originate from distinct geographical areas: the Yorkshire Terrier from England and the Lhasa Apso from Tibet.

As a domesticated breed, the Yorkie Apso is typically found in human environments such as homes, apartments, and urban settings. It thrives in a variety of climates but requires a comfortable indoor environment.

The Yorkie Apso functions as a companion animal, providing social, emotional, and psychological benefits to its human owners. It does not occupy a specific ecological niche in the wild, but rather adapts to the lifestyle and environment provided by its human caretakers.
