YORKSHIRE TERRIER 2840 BOY

Description

Origin:

The Yorkshire Terrier, often called the “Yorkie,” originated in England during the 19th century. They were originally bred by Scottish workers who moved to Yorkshire and used these small but fearless dogs to catch rats in textile mills and mines. Over time, their charming personality and elegant appearance made them popular companion dogs around the world.

Size:

Height: 7–8 inches
Weight: 4–7 pounds

Appearance:

Yorkshire Terriers are tiny dogs with a long, silky coat that is typically steel blue and tan in color. They have a compact body, upright ears, and bright, expressive eyes that give them a confident and alert look. Despite their small size, Yorkies carry themselves with a bold and spirited attitude.

Temperament:

• Affectionate and loya
• Confident and energetic
• Intelligent and alert

Yorkies are known for having a big personality in a tiny body. They are loving companions that enjoy attention and bonding closely with their owners. They can be brave and protective, often acting much larger than they really are.

Exercise Needs:

Yorkshire Terriers have moderate energy levels and enjoy short walks, indoor playtime, and interactive activities. They adapt well to apartment living but still need daily activity and mental stimulation to stay happy and healthy.

Grooming:

Their long silky coat requires frequent brushing to prevent tangles and matting. Many owners choose a shorter “puppy cut” for easier maintenance. Regular grooming, dental care, nail trimming, and ear cleaning are important parts of caring for this breed.

Health:

Common health concerns may include dental disease, luxating patella, tracheal collapse, hypoglycemia, and liver shunt issues. Routine veterinary care, a balanced diet, and proper dental hygiene are essential for maintaining their health.

Good With Kids & Other Pets?

Yes! Yorkshire Terriers can do very well with children and other pets when properly socialized. Because of their small size, supervision around very young children is recommended. Their affectionate and lively personality makes them wonderful companions for families, singles, and seniors alike.
