Yorkshire Terrier

The Yorkshire belongs to the toy breed group. Their weight is about 7 lbs and their height 8 to 9 inches. Their colors are blue and tan. Yorkshire Terriers are born black, gradually attaining their blue and tan coloration as they mature. They much prefer to be held on their owner's lap all day but focus entirely on their owner and are extremely affectionate. It has been said that a Yorkshire Terrier requires more human companionship and attention than any other breed. This breed is also quick to learn. However, training must have consistency and firmness. They do not like to be ignored, so lots of praise will bring out the best in their training.

  4. We almost got a Yorkie. They are so adorable and small. Make sure though that when you buy them that you don't buy them from a puppy mill (a place where people breed numerous amounts of dogs and the dogs are neglected and are extrememly unhealthy) or a petshop/petstore who usually buy from puppy mills.

  7. I am not the kind of person who loves dogs but my friend had 2 yorkshire terriers. Once while visiting her... I was scared. she told me it would be fine and the doggy would not say anything. she let him and her out. And that was the first time I touched a dog. After that I was never scared of any kind of dog. These species mean a lot to me. And yes, their ADORABLE!!!
