The Yorkshire Terrier

The Yorkies are active, strong minded and very intelligent. They are not conscious of their small size, which can be problematic sometimes. In spite of their sophisticated appearance, the Yorkies have very similar traits to the Terrier, that is why they need rigour, consistency and firmness in their training. Be not fooled by their attractive dark eyes, the Yorkshire Terrier will take advantage of all your weaknesses to manipulate you. Like all small dogs, they require little exercises; however the Yorkshire will gladly accept the regular offer of short walks which prove to be necessary for its well being and happiness. A joyful routine for everyone !

The digestive system of small dogs are sometimes sensitive. A quality food is particularly essential to maintain your dog’s health. We recommend Royal Canin.

The Yorkshire Terrier can be easily distinguished by it’s long hair. The growth is continuous and they do not shed. It is necessary to groom your Yorkshire regularly. This breed is also recognized to be hypoallergenic.

If you have young children, the Yorkies might not be a good choice. These small dogs like to play and they will follow your children everywhere. So where is the problem ? Their audacity combined with their small size make them vulnerable to accidents. Having said that, the Yorkshire Terrier is the perfect remedy against solitude. What a wonderful companion !
