Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Yorkshire Terrier, or "Yorkie," is a toy dog breed with English roots, specifically the county of Yorkshire. These dogs are well-known for their active and self-assured demeanor in addition to their small stature, long, silky, straight blue and tan coats. Yorkshire Terriers are popular pets because they are friendly and easy to care for. Some defining features of Yorkshire Terriers are: - Yorkies are little dogs, with an average height at the shoulder of 7 to 8 inches (18 to 20 cm) and a weight of 4 to 7 pounds (1.8 to 3.2 kilograms). - Coat they have a straight, smooth, silky, and predominantly blue (steel blue or a grayish blue) coat with tan patterns on the head, ears, chest, and legs, making them easily recognizable. - Yorkshire Terriers have an exuberant, fearless, and self-assured temperament. They can be affectionate and loyal to their owners but may also demonstrate a stubborn side. - Yorkies have a high level of intelligence and are trainable, yet they may also be stubborn and headstrong. - Regular exercise is essential for the health and happiness of Yorkshire Terriers, despite their small stature. While they do benefit from some physical activity, smaller dogs like walks and fun more than strenuous exercise. - Maintaining the health and appearance of their long, silky coat necessitates regular care. Brushing on a consistent basis and seeing a professional groomer on occasion are also common necessities. - Yorkies' health can be compromised by concerns like dental disease, knee joint difficulties, and tracheal collapse. It's crucial to ensure their health and happiness by giving them the veterinary care they need. Small, refined, and loving, Yorkshire Terriers are a popular choice for pet owners. They are friendly with everyone from young children to elderly people and can adjust to living in cramped quarters, making them a popular pet.
