Description
“Short legs, big summer personality!”
I am a Yorkshire Terrier puppy! I was born on March 7th and I am ready for my forever home! I have been family raised on a mini farm in the country. I have had my shots and de-wormers. I have been checked by a veterinarian and I am microchipped. For more information or to schedule a visit with me, please contact Rachel Monday through Saturday. All Sunday calls will be returned on Monday.
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, but can develop separation anxiety if left alone too long. 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. They have a long coat and 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. 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.

Pros
AKC's most popular toy breed — a companion dog royalty with nearly 150 years of US show history
Silky, continuously growing coat doesn't shed — widely considered hypoallergenic by American allergy sufferers
Outsized terrier personality in a 7-pound body — the quintessential American 'big dog in a small package'
Highly trainable for its size: consistent AKC obedience and agility competitor
Cons
The show coat requires daily attention and professional grooming every 6-8 weeks — a significant ongoing investment
Hypoglycemia in young puppies (especially Teacup-sized Yorkies) requires careful feeding management
Portosystemic liver shunts occur at higher rates in the breed — symptoms may not appear until adulthood
Fragile frame — inappropriate handling, falls, or interactions with larger dogs can cause serious injury
