Introduction To Yorkshire Terrier AKA Yorkie

The Yorkie might be small, but don't be fooled! Yorkies have a great deal of enthusiasm and a contagious zest for life. The Yorkshire Terrier, affectionately known as the Yorkies, is a small-sized dog breed with a long fluffy silky coat coloured with a tan in three combinations of blue and gold, black and gold and blue.  

Small in size but very big in heart, a Yorkie may be the right furry friend for you. 

Yorkshire Terrier Puppy Facts

Between their Rapunzel-like fur and their bossy attitude, Yorkie puppies will fit and brighten up any household. Here are some vital facts about Yorkshire Terrier to get you started:

Size

Weighing about 7 pounds, Yorkshire Terriers can grow to a height of 7-8 inches.

Yorkshire Terrier Characteristics

For such a small breed, the Yorkshire Terrier is well-proportioned and walks with a look of assurance. The rich blue-grey and tan coat is naturally straight and falls from the head and evenly from the body, and their coat is even hypoallergenic.

Yorkshire Terrier Temperament

Although exquisite, toy dogs still have a great personality. Yorkies thrive in apartments and city living, as long as they have a pleasant and fun place to call home. They can even become a watchdog if they need to.

Grooming and Health Needs of Yorkshire Terriers

The Yorkie coat has a texture that is similar to that of human hair. Like human hair, to preserve its luxurious shine, it needs to be brushed daily and should be washed and trimmed when appropriate. When left unchecked, their hair will grow longer than two feet!

Yorkies often tend to have a little bun on the top of their heads but it is not for making a fashion statement. It is to ensure that their fur doesn’t get into the eyes of Yorkies as Yorkies can get irritated quickly, so trimming their fur or placing it in a top knot frequently is ideal.

Training for Yorkshire Terriers

Positivity is the name of the game when you're raising a Yorkie. They focus on satisfying people, so positive reinforcement with treats giving is how to win a Yorkie over for life. If they are exposed to new people, dogs, or locations, it is best to do so slowly as they can be confused at first. They enjoy engaging in agility courses and obedience school because of their high intellect. Creating fun games and tricks will be the main ingredient for a happy Yorkie. 

Yorkshire Terrier Energy Level

Yorkshire Terriers have a lot of energy to burn! Because of their small frame, it can be achieved with steady walks n a nearby park. It may be good for your Yorkie to engage in small dog group outings to get rid of their excess energy while learning how to socialize at the same time.

Life Span of Yorkshire Terriers

The average life span of a Yorkie is between 11 and 16 years. 

Who Will Be The Best Human For A Yorkshire Terrier?

Yorkies are suitable for apartment settings. Having the patience to commit to a Yorkshire Terrier puppy is important since they are an intelligent, affectionate breed who loves to be with their people. They love to learn new things, so take the time to get to know your Yorkie puppy's loveable personality, and don't hesitate to train them with easy obedience and fun tricks.
