Yorkshire Terrier

Yorkies are known as the “moving jewel” due to a flowing silky coat. Yorkies were developed in Victorian times in Yorkshire England, this dog was created from the manchester terrier, Skye Terrier, Maltese, and other breeds as a ratter. They have a compact size between 6 and 7 inches and between 3 and 7 lbs, a sweet expression and cheerful character. Yorkies are the most popular breed of toy dogs.

Though members of the toy dog group, they are terriers by nature and are brave, investigative and energetic.
The silky coat is close to their body, straight and reaches the ground, though most Yorkies you’ll see around have been groomed with a much shorter cut like a puppy.

They are very affectionate and love being around their human family (they are a great constant companion) they tend not to like being left home alone.

These dogs are intelligent and quick to learn. Potty training these dogs needs to happen early and can be difficult if you are not diligent.

They are usually born black with tan on the eye- brows, tip of the jaws, chest and feet; however adult dogs will turn steel blue on the back and tail, while the head, chest and feet turn golden.
Yorkies need to be brushed daily and groomed often by a professional so their coat will stay in good condition.
