    Yorkshire Terrier

    1. The small but spirited Yorkshire Terrier is beloved by all those who own one. These tiny Terriers, also lovingly referred to as “Yorkies,” make great companion dogs. Don't be deceived by their delicate appearance; Yorkies are tenacious, feisty, brave, and sometimes even a bit bossy, embodying all the classic traits of a true terrier. Frequently celebrated as one of the most popular dog breeds in American cities, these little dogs pack a big attitude into their small frames, making them favorites among urban dwellers. With a long lifespan and hypoallergenic coats that resemble human hair, Yorkies are excellent companions and vigilant watchdogs. Known for their vibrant personalities and long lifespan, they offer years of entertainment and steadfast companionship. One of their most stunning attributes is their long, silky coat of steely black and tan fur. As they age, the black turns slightly to reveal a striking silver.

    More About The Breed

    The small but spirited Yorkshire Terrier is beloved by all those who own one. These tiny Terriers, also lovingly referred to as “Yorkies,” make great companion dogs. Don't be deceived by their delicate appearance; Yorkies are tenacious, feisty, brave, and sometimes even a bit bossy, embodying all the classic traits of a true terrier. Frequently celebrated as one of the most popular dog breeds in American cities, these little dogs pack a big attitude into their small frames, making them favorites among urban dwellers. With a long lifespan and hypoallergenic coats that resemble human hair, Yorkies are excellent companions and vigilant watchdogs. Known for their vibrant personalities and long lifespan, they offer years of entertainment and steadfast companionship. One of their most stunning attributes is their long, silky coat of steely black and tan fur. As they age, the black turns slightly to reveal a striking silver. 

    Yorkies are loving and trainable. Yorkies have the propensity to bark and starting from a young age to accustom to a large variety of people, noises, and experiences will yield the most well-adjusted adults. Make training a great experience for both of you by using treats and positive reinforcement. 

    Yorkshire Terriers have large personalities that contrast their stature. They are very happy in any space as long as they are with their owner. As a toy breed, Yorkshire Terriers are wonderful for apartments or small homes. They do need moderate amounts of exercise in order to stay calm and keep your home looking neat and tidy.

    Yorkshire Terriers are generally healthy with a lifespan of 11-14 years. Like all breeds, they are susceptible to certain diseases. For Yorkies, these include patellar luxation, progressive retinal atrophy, portosystemic shunt, and collapsed trachea. As a toy breed, they are also susceptible to hypoglycemia, or low blood sugar. A balanced diet and eating at least three times per day will help with keeping their blood sugar levels healthy. 

    A Yorkshire Terrier is a good fit training-wise for a new or first-time owner. Yorkies are fairly easy to train and will be patient with their owner. Be sure to use positive reinforcement with them because they are sensitive and can become stubborn easily. For the best results, you should train your pup with the help of a local trainer. In doing so, you will have more confidence and knowledge and bond better with your dog during training sessions.

    Many people find that the Yorkshire Terrier’s coat is very similar to human hair. It keeps growing and will need haircuts to keep it to a manageable length. If it is kept long, it will need daily brushing. Along with brushing, weekly baths will keep their coat shiny. Keep their nails trimmed monthly and their ears clean and dry. Because of their toy size, their teeth are prone to decay, so daily brushing is important. 

    Yorkies need moderate daily exercise, both physical and mental, to be happy and healthy. They love a nice walk almost as much and they will enjoy snuggling on the couch afterward. Despite their small size, Yorkies excel at canine sports and obedience competitions. 

    These toy Terriers stay small. Even as adults, they only stand 8 to 9 inches at the shoulder, weighing 4 to 10 pounds.

    A Yorkshire Terrier generally lives for 13 to 16 years.
