Yorkshire Terriers are one of the most well liked dog breeds in the U. S. , Canada and Great Britain. These lovable and miniscule companions, like most other terriers weren't at first certain to be household pets. The Commercial Revolution sent many rural employees to Yorkshire to work in the coal mines. They brought with them diverse types of Terriers - like Skye and Clydesdale- to catch rats that infested the mines. The 1st Yorkie that appeared as they do today made its appearance in a dog show in 1870. Yorkshire Terriers have a long and silky coat of fur, with no undercoat. Yorkies weigh less than 7 to 8 pounds and theyre usually a trifling six to 7 inches tall. Like many thoroughbred dogs, Yorkies are susceptible to some genetic anomalies like Distichiasis ( eyelash that arises unusually on eyelid ), Hydrocephalus ( water in the brain ), Legg-Perthes disease ( deteriorative illness of hip joint ), and bladder stones. To avoid dental issues, you may want to think about feeding your Yorkshire Terriers dry food and definitely clean their teeth frequently.
