Yorkshire Terrier information
The Yorkshire Terrier is a
small, toy sized dog. The small head is rather flat on the top,
with a medium sized muzzle. The teeth meet in a scissors or
level bite. The nose is black. The medium sized eyes are dark
with dark eye rims. The erect ears are V-shaped. All four legs
are straight when viewed from the front. The round feet have
black toenails. Dewclaws are usually removed. The tail is
customarily docked to a medium length and carried somewhat
higher than the back. Note: it is illegal to dock tails in most
parts of Europe. The long glossy coat is fine and silky and
falls straight down on either side. Coat colors come in a steal
blue and tan color. The body and tail are blue and the rest of
the dog is tan. Puppies are brown black and tan. The hair on the
head is so abundant that it is almost always necessary to gather
it in a band to keep from going into the dog's food bowl and to
give the animal maximum visibility. Some owners choose to trim
the hair on top of the head.
Temperament
Yorkshire Terriers seem
oblivious of their small size. They are very eager for
adventure. This little dog is highly energetic, brave, loyal and
clever. With owners who take the time to understand how to treat
a small dog, the Yorkie is a wonderful companion! Affectionate
with their master, but if humans are not this dog's pack leader,
they can become suspicious of strangers and aggressive to
strange dogs and small animals. They can also become yappy, as
the dog does their best to tell you what THEY want YOU to do.
They have a true terrier heritage and need someone who
understands how to be their leader. They are often only
recommended for older, considerate children, simply because they
are so small, most people allow them to get away with behaviors
no dog should display. This changes the dogs temperament, as the
dog starts to take over the house (Small Dog Syndrome). Yorkies
who become demanding and dependant appearing to need a lot of
human attention and/or developing jealous behaviors, snapping if
surprised, frightened or over-teased, have owners who need to
rethink how they are treating the dog. Owners who do not
instinctually meet the dogs needs can also find them to become
over-protective, and become neurotic. Yorkies are easy to train,
although they can sometimes be stubborn if owners do not give
the dog proper boundaries. They can be difficult to housebreak.
The Yorkie is an excellent watchdog. When owners display pack
leadership to the Yorkshire Terrier, they are very sweet and
loving and can be trusted with children. The problems only arise
when owners, because of the dogs cute little size, allow them to
take over the house. The human will not even realize it, however
know, if you have any of the negative behaviors listed above,
it's time to look into your pack leader skills. These are truly
sweet little dogs who need owners who understand how to give
them gentle leadership. If you own a Yorkie who does not display
any of the negative behaviors, high five for being a good pack
leader!
Size
Height: 6-7 inches
(15-17½cm.)
Weight: 7 pounds (3.2kg.)
Needs
These are active little dogs,
who need a daily walk. Play will take care of a lot of their
exercise needs, however, as with all breeds, it will not fulfill
their primal instinct to walk. Dogs who do not get to go on
daily walks are more likely to display behavior problems. If
your Yorkie zooms around the house like a speeding bullet, it is
a sign that he needs to go on more/longer walks where he is made
to heel beside or behind the human. Remember, in a dogs mind,
the leader leads the way. They will also enjoy a good romp in a
safe open area off lead, such as a large fenced in yard.
The Yorkie is a good dog for apartment life.
They are very active indoors and will do okay without a yard.
The Yorkie is sensitive to the cold and prefers warm climates.
Grooming
Regular grooming is needed. A
clipped coat needs daily to weekly combing and brushing. Topknot
is usually tied back with ribbon. Full show coats need hours of
grooming and pet owners usually choose to clip them short giving
them a shaggy look. They should have their teeth cleaned
regularly. This breed sheds little to no hair.
Yorkshire Terrier Origins
The Yorkie was created by
working men of north England, who developed the breed for
catching the terrible rats and mice that infested clothing mills
and mine shafts. These hunting dogs could penetrate into badger
and fox burrows. The breed is not very old, but its origins are
not entirely certain. However, it seems likely that Scotsmen
seeking work in the woolen mills of Yorkshire brought with them
various types of terrier, including the Skye Terrier, Dandie
Dinmont, Manchester Terrier, Maltese and the now extinct
Clydesdale. These were then crossed with local types, such as
the long- haired Leeds Terrier. At first, the Yorkie was a much
bigger animal than the one we see today, but by selectively
breeding the smallest individuals, the dog was gradually
miniaturized over the years. They were made into a fashion dog.
Women carried these little dogs in their bags and under their
arms.
