Yorkshire Terrier 101 [Full Dog Breed Information]

The word feisty is a popular word when describing many Toy group dogs, but if one word describes the Yorkshire Terrier, it's inevitable; it just has to be feisty. Yorkies aren't just feisty; they’re energetic, comical little dogs with a very positive personality. They are happy living in an apartment, but they have a well-earned reputation as notoriously difficult to housetrain; living in an apartment doesn't help the situation if you need to climb up and down stairs or use an elevator to get them outside before they have an accident. The AKC (American Kennel Club) has the Yorkie as the 10th most popular dog in the United States; if you included the rest of the world in those stats, the Yorkie would probably be inside the top 5 popular dogs worldwide. Yorkshire Terrier History In the mid-1800s, Scottish weavers looking for work relocated to the north of England in Yorkshire. They brought an assortment of Scottish Terriers, not the Scottish Terrier breed but several of the popular terriers that lived during that time in Scotland. The Yorkie is a result of mixing those now extinct terriers with other terriers such as the Skye and Dandie Dinmont terriers. At the time, Yorkies were not the lapdog we know today; he was a working dog and worked the textile mills and coal mines of Yorkshire, killing rats and other rodents. The Kennel Club of England recognized the Yorkshire Terrier breed in 1886. This accolade gave rise to the dog’s popularity as a companion dog to noble and rich ladies. They set about creating even smaller versions to further their income and the prestige and desire for a Yorkshire Terrier. Of course, they now became legitimate lapdogs and have never looked back since. By the 1870s, the Yorkie was already over in America, and in 1885 the AKC recognized the Yorkshire Terrier breed. Yorkie Appearance Yorkies grow no higher than nine inches and weigh just under seven pounds. They have a long haired-coat; the coat doesn't shed, but it does require grooming and brushing out every day, even if you clip his hair short. They might be a Toy breed and love living in an apartment, but they still need exercise and to go outside every day; they need at least thirty minutes every day. Yorkshire Terriers do live a reasonably long time and can live well into their teens. They are tiny dogs, so as you would expect, everything about them is minuscule, including their heads. They have an average length muzzle for their head's size; they are not a brachycephalic breed. They have relatively large inverted V-shaped ears that stand tall and erect on the top of their head. Yorkies in the ring will always have long, flowing silky coats touching the floor. The color is tan except for the steel blue color on the tail and body. Possibly you have come across the name Teacup Yorkie? In point of fact, there is no distinct breed known as a Teacup. Yorkshire Terriers are bred to be small or miniature, but in all other respects are regular Yorkies. Yorkshire Terrier Temperament Be aware that not all Yorkies are the loving lapdog that you expect. Many Yorkies are cuddly and laid-back and want nothing more than being close to their owners. But others are full of energy, nosy, and can be naughty, picking up bad habits every day. A Yorkie needs boundaries the same as any other dog. Early socialization is essential if you want him to grow to be a calm, relaxed and friendly dog. Timidity and anxiety are two factors that can cause any dog to be aggressive—helping your Yorkie see that he shouldn't fear unusual sights and sounds. Start training early, the sooner, the better, before any bad habits occur; it's far better to do things this way round than working to reverse bad behavior. A Yorkie's personality will begin to form within the first few months, so take the opportunity to set the rules for how you want your Yorkie to behave in the future. Discipline is a must if you want a calm, non-aggressive and mild-mannered little dog. Discipline is not something to be afraid of; the dog will not love you less; as he gets older, if he could talk, he would thank you. Also, discipline is not about being unkind or harsh in any way. All it takes is a calm, patient, and consistent owner to provide the rules and boundaries every dog needs. Final Thoughts - Yorkshire Terrier Even though tiny Yorkies need some exercise, so walk times are vital for him and you. Plus, to help housetrain a Yorkie, he has to go outside. Allowing him to see the outside world, especially when young, enables a Yorkie to be calmer in his surroundings. The Yorkshire Terrier is a high-energy dog, and he does need to burn off this excess energy; playtime is something you should factor into your relationship. #chihulife #dogs #yorkshireterrier #terrier
