Yorkshire Terrier

You might ask yourself how a Yorkshire Terrier look like. Well we answer your question: the Yorkies have ultra long, silky coat parts along the spine and falls straight down on each side. Puppies are usually black & tan. The tail is usually docked to half its length. The owners usually go for their shaggy look. The Yorkies usually have a flat head, medium-sized length muzzle, a black nose, and regular teeth. The ears are V-shaped, erect but they can be semi-erect too. The tail is docked to medium-length and is carried level with its back. Its limbs are straight with round feet and black nails. The hair on the head is so long that it is almost always necessary to gather it in a band to give the animal maximum visibility. Some owners choose to trim the hair on top of the head, but dogs usually don't love that.

The Yorkshire Terrier seems coward, and weak of its small size, but this isn't true: this little dog is very 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!

They are 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. Yorkies who become demanding and dependant appearing to need a lot of human attention and developing jealous behaviors, become snappish if surprised or frightened, 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. 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, even they're small. When owners display pack leadership to the Yorkshire Terrier, they are very sweet and loving and can be trusted with children.
