This charming and perky little breed originated in Yorkshire, England during the time of the Industrial Revolution. Scottish workers traveled to England to work in various factories and mines and brought this ancestor of the Yorkshire Terrier with them. The dog they brought was not as small as our present day Yorkshire Terrier. While in England and being mixed with a few other terrier breeds, is subsequently how the smaller Yorkshire Terrier, or Yorkie, came about. The first documentation of the Yorkshire Terrier in the United States was in 1872. This intelligent, confident, and playful little breed thinks he is bigger than he is, and sometimes has the personality to go with it. Yorkies are normally 8-9 inches high and typically weigh in at no more than 7 pounds. They are often 4-6 pounds but have been known to be from 12-15 pounds. Yorkies are a companion breed and do well with first time dog owners. Due to their small size they are great for apartment living, but do need their exercise, and may be a bit yappy. Early training and socialization is necessary to teach them proper behavior, but they can be a challenge to house train. Although they have a long coat, they do have a propensity to be intolerant to the cold. Their coat is often straight, silky, and long, and is generally gold, black, tan, or blue, and as they age the colors change. The Yorkie is one of the few breeds whose hair is similar to human hair. However, they do need to have regular brushing of their coat to avoid matting, as well as weekly baths. Daily brushing of their teeth is also necessary due to the breed developing dental issues. It is suggested that a weekly overall examination of the ears, eyes, and skin is necessary to maintain overall good health. Early brushing and grooming is important to allow the Yorkie to become accustomed to being handled. Overall, they are predominantly a healthy breed, and with regular veterinary visits and care they should live long and happy lives.
