Yorkshire Terriers are one of the most popular breeds of dogs in The United States, Canada and Great Britain. Just one look at one and you know why. These cute and tiny companions, like most other terriers were not initially destined to be household pets. Yorkshire Terriers, commonly known as Yorkies, came from Yorkshire in Northern England during the 19th century. The Industrial Revolution sent many agricultural workers to Yorkshire to work in the coal mines. They brought with them various kinds of Terriers – such as Skye and Clydesdale- to catch rats that infested the mines. They were then bred with local long haired Terriers to produce Yorkies. At first they were much larger than they are now. Over time, people bred the smallest of the Yorkies until they gradually decreased in size. The first Yorkie that appeared as they do today made its appearance in a dog show in 1870.

Yorkshire Terriers have a long and silky coat of fur, with no undercoat. Thus, they seldom shed. When they’re born, their fur is black and tan. When they mature, the black usually becomes more of a blue-gray color. By standard, Yorkies have human-like hair that’s very soft and smooth to the touch. Yorkshire Terriers have flat heads and their snouts extend a medium-sized length. They have tiny black noses and their teeth are generally leveled, with no over or under-bite. They have v-shaped ears that stand erect on the top of their heads which causes them to look constantly alert. Yorkies weigh no more than seven to eight pounds and they’re normally a mere six to seven inches in height.

Like many purebred dogs, Yorkies are prone to some genetic disorders such as Distichiasis (eyelash that arises abnormally on eyelid), Hydrocephalus (water in the brain), Legg-Perthes disease (degenerative disease of hip joint), and bladder stones. Some other common health problems that Yorkies get include Bronchitis, Hepatic Lipidosis (fatty liver), and cataracts. Oftentimes, they’re prone to early tooth decay as well. To avoid dental issues, you might want to consider feeding your Yorkshire Terriers dry food and definitely clean their teeth regularly. Although it’s rare, they may suffer from paralysis due to herniated disks or other spinal problems. Tiny Teacup Yorkies are more likely to exhibit these problems.

Despite their small size, Yorkies are adventurous and mischievous. They’re energetic, clever, loyal, but nervous. While they’re affectionate to their owners, they are especially nervous with strangers. At times they may be stubborn but they are very trainable dogs. They do demand a lot of attention, though. Although small, Yorkshire Terriers make great watch dogs. They may snap if they get frightened or surprised but otherwise they are sweet and loving. Yorkies are yappy but they are intelligent dogs and can be taught not to bark!

Yorkies are active dogs but they do not require a big yard. They are very active indoor animals. They still, however, like all dogs, need to be walked regularly in order to avoid behavioral problems. They are good with people in general and they prefer mature children to little kids. Yorkies are loyal and wonderful dogs to have as a pet.

For more information bit.ly ========================= Thank you FreeFoto.com for the use of your pictures Yorkshire Terrier “The Yorkshire Terrier (often called simply the Yorkie) is a breed of small dog in the terrier category. The long-haired terrier is known for its playful demeanor and distinctive blue and tan coat. Yorkies can be very small, usually weighing not more than 7 pounds (3.18 kg); the standard of this breed does not mention the minimum weight accepted nor does it specify a height. Based on registrations of the American Kennel Club, Yorkshire Terriers became the second most popular dog breed in the United States in 2006, trailing only the Labrador Retriever. History ———- Legacy The Yorkie was bred as a ratter, used to kill mice and rats in small places. There is some evidence that they may have been used for hunting as well. Like most terriers developed in the early 19th Century, it was common for Yorkies to demonstrate their prowess as vermin killers in what were known as “rat killer” As a hunting group, terriers specialize in pursuing animals (usually vermin) that live in dens or burrows. Animals that are cornered and defending their young will fight ferociously. Therefore, any dog that would willingly pursue them must have an extraordinary degree of courage; terriers are bred for that quality. Ancestry As the name implies, the Yorkshire Terrier originated in Yorkshire (and the adjoining Lancashire), a rugged region in northern England. In the mid …

The Yorkshire Terrier is a lovable dog with a big attitude and incredible personality. If you love dogs that think they are the biggest animal on the block – but are actually small, cuddly fluffballs.

A member of the Toy Group, the Yorkie loves to cuddle and looks like it is gliding across the showroom floor when in a competition. The reason for this is due to their long, elegant hair that goes all the way down to their feet. Some Yorkshire Terriers can weigh as little as 1 pound, but breeders do not often recommend buying puppies this small. Plainly put, when a dog is that tiny, their health is definitely at risk.

The AKC recommends keeping your Yorkie under seven pounds, but these dogs do not operate under a minimum weight requirement. The Yorkie’s coat can be silver, blue or black and they have tan on the heads and legs. All of the puppies are both with black and tan color and change as they mature.

Characteristics – The Yorkshire Terrier has long been the top choice as an apartment dog. They love to roam around in a yard, but they don’t have to have one. Some dogs never go outside at all, actually, as their owners teach them to use a litter box. You can always play an indoor game of fetch with your Yorkie to keep them healthier. Finally, if you do leave your Yorkshire Terrier outside, be sure it is a secure area as Yorkies love to scramble and dig to explore.

Yorkshire Terriers love to have all of the attention on themselves and are quite sociable. Yorkies can become irritated around toddlers, however, but only because they are worried that the toddler is going to hurt them in some way. Yorkies can injure easily due to their small size. A Yorkshire Terrier with an exceptional personality will allow a toddler to squeeze, poke and play with them, but it can be quite unfair to the dog to be treated like a toy.

Yorkies can become stubborn as they mature and develop quite the diva attitude. For this reason, it pays to take your puppy trained early on to give them the right guidelines.

Health Problems and Grooming – Yorkshire Terriers have few health problems, although they can have problems with their teeth. They have also been known to develop hernias and have hypoglycemia.

These little dogs do not eat a lot of food, but you will be careful not to spoil them with soft food, unless he can’t eat dry food. Dry food is much better for their teeth and since the Yorkie has issues with dental problems anyways, you should definitely push them towards the dry version.

Yorkies need to be groomed at least three times a week in order to prevent tangles. The dogs with silkier coats will only need a weekly brushing. Of course, you will need to watch their teeth and keep them very clean to prevent any dental problems in the future.

Yorkshire Terriers are one of the smallest dog breeds in the world, but their temperament doesn’t match it. They still have a lively, energetic, fun personality, often enjoying playing fetch with their toys. Yorkshire Terriers can however be aggressive if provoked. This makes them a bad choice for people with small children.

If you have ever watched a dog competition on the T.V., you have probably seen alot Yorkshire Terriers jumping through hoops, or running through obstacles.
