The Yorkshire Terrier - An Introduction.

Yorkshire Terriers, commonly called Yorkies, came from Yorkshire in Northerly Britain during the 19th century. They brought with them varied types of Terriers - like Skye and Clydesdale- to catch rats that plagued the mines. They were then bred with local long haired Terriers to produce Yorkies.

Initially they were much bigger than they are now. Over the passage of time folk bred the littlest of the Yorkies until they steadily reduced in size. When they grow, the black often becomes more of a blue-gray color. By standard, Yorkies have human-like hair thats really soft and smooth to touch. They have little black noses and their teeth are usually leveled, with no over or under-bite. They have v-shaped ears that stand erect on top of their heads which leads them to look consistently alert. Like many thoroughbred dogs, Yorkies are susceptible to some genetic defects like Distichiasis ( eyelash that ensues unusually on eyelid ), Hydrocephalus ( water in the brain ), Legg-Perthes illness ( infirmity of hip joint ), and bladder stones. Yorkies must be trained in the same ways in which a large dog would. Living in an house or home without an enormous yard is no problem for the Yorkshire Terrier. Tons of people snigger at Yorkies in sweaters but in fact they aid in keeping the dog warm in the cold winter months.

The dramatic change between the heat of the house to the cold or stormy weather outside is hard on a Yorkies body. The cold can be particularly distracting for a dog that must use the potty and could make them wish to run back within. This transition is made far simpler when the dog has a pleasant warm sweater on for extreme colder weather. Here is a informative link all about yorkie breeding. This is often in the winter or perhaps when its raining. You might need to lay down some paper in a box and keep it in the garage as a backup potty plan during rough weather. Take care when you take your Yorkshire Terrier outside in your yard or at the park, watch where he walks. This is also correct when referring to tracking dog poop in the house on your shoes. Like many thoroughbred dogs, Yorkies are susceptible to some genetic afflictions such as Distichiasis ( eyelash that ensues atypically on eyelid ), Hydrocephalus ( water in the brain ), Legg-Perthes illness ( infirmity of hip joint ), and bladder stones. Yorkies are unswerving and excellent dogs to have as a pet.
