‘Yorkie’
The Yorkshire terrier is a breed of dog that belongs to the “Toy” group of the American Kennel Club. It is about seven to eight inches tall and weighs between four and seven pounds when fully grown. They have a confident demeanor, a small head, a short muzzle, and medium-sized eyes. They should have good teeth, and their coat should be silky and straight.
The Yorkshire terrier is very intelligent and likes to please their owners. As a result, it is very easy to teach this breed bad habits. While some of these bad habits are cute and amusing to small children, if you do not train your Yorkie to stop these behaviors, you may find yourself dealing with serious behavioral problems or a snappy dog. While Yorkies are often loyal to their humans, they can also be unpredictable and chase cats or small animals.
Yorkshire Terriers can be great dogs for families. They are not allergic to other pets, although they do not do well around young children or cats. They are also great with other fluffy family members. Another reason why Yorkshire Terriers are perfect for families is their hypoallergenic fur. While they do shed, it is not nearly as much as other breeds of dogs. Their fur needs to be washed and cut every now and then.
The Yorkshire terrier was first recognized as a breed by the AKC in 1885. It was a favorite among weavers because of its silky coat. Since then, the breed has become popular as a companion dog. Since its birth, the Yorkshire terrier has been recognized by both national and international organizations.
As for the appearance, the Yorkshire terrier has a long and smooth coat that is often a golden or tan color. However, they can have darker coats, such as blue or steel grey. Their hind legs are usually straight from behind, and their stifles should be moderately bent from the side.
The Yorkshire terrier is not a shy dog. It can live in large cities, where it is trained for work or play. It is not afraid of the big city and will not shy away from a busy street. If trained well, Yorkies are not frightened by the city life.
The Yorkshire terrier was developed in the 1800s in the United Kingdom. Many people believe that it is a descendant of Scottish terriers that were brought to Yorkshire by people seeking work. They were bred to hunt small vermin and were likely used in coal mines and textile mills. Victorian ladies also used the Yorkshire terrier to clean up.
