By Dmitry Vasenyov


If you are searching for a dog with attitude then Yorkshire terriers will absolutely suit you. Although Yorkies are not big dogs and look very sweet, they think that they are gigantic and can with no trouble achieve a victory over all other dogs on the globe.

Yorkies` hair is usually long and good-looking. From time to time it might look as if they are gliding across the floor as their small feet are barely able to be seen. Their coat colour is usually black with tan elements.

These doggies can make great apartment dogs from the reason that they are small and fast get used to life in a huge town. However, if you live in the country they greatly adapt to such a life: Yorkies willingly explore new places and items. So, you need to be certain that there are no holes or breaks on your fence as Yorkies are always ready to discover new lands. But if you wish to hold your dog inside all the time you should supply him with all types of physical and mental exercises.

Be prepared for the fact that Yorkies are very cheerful. They adore being the centre of attention and feel love from all people around them. Customarily they feel affection for their new family and willingly participate in every family activity. But keep in mind: if there are babies or small children you shouldn`t think over this breed. They are particularly delicate and small children can simply injure the dog squeezing or poking it.

In spite of the fact Yorkies are small their temperament might be rather mischievous and changeable. So, providing a proper training for the dog is a must. They must realize that you are a dominant person. Don`t forget about obedience lessons which sometimes can safe your pet`s life.

Commonly, Yorkies don`t develop any serious illnesses. Though, it was noticed that they are inclined to dental problems, hernias and hypoglycemia. But if you provide them the needed care and grooming they will be totally glad.
