History
Also known as the Yorkie, the Yorkshire Terrier originated in England in 1861 under the breed name of the Broken Haired Scotch Terrier. In 1874 the breed’s name was changed to what it is today, Yorkshire Terrier. This breed originally served as a hunter, where it successfully helped eliminate small vermin in fields and farms. The Yorkshire Terrier is a very popular dog breed and is ranked among the most popular toy breeds around the world.
Personality
The Yorkshire Terrier is a feisty and lovable dog breed that loves its family. They are playful and have loyal and brave personalities with a very caring and easy-going demeanor. This breed has a long and proven history of making a fine family pet. They do great with children and other pets within the household. They also adjust well to apartment-style or conventional-style housing. There are many reasons why this breed has remained as popular as it has for generations.
Appearance
The Yorkshire Terrier generally has a silky, smooth, and glossy coat. They enjoy a thorough daily brushing which will help to enhance the coat’s shine and overall appearance.

Overall, this breed does not require excessive amounts of grooming, but the basics are very important.
Care
Yorkshire Terrier puppies do need a lot of energy. As puppies, they are active and constantly growing. From the age of three months to twelve months, they tend to do best with four small meals a day. This will help distribute the energy they need, which will greatly help their mental and physical development. Using high-quality dog food is highly recommended. His meals should also be evenly spaced throughout the day to form a good routine.

FAQs
Yorkshire Terriers have hair instead of fur, which means they shed minimally and produce less dander. While no dog is completely hypoallergenic, many people with allergies find Yorkies more tolerable than other breeds.
Adult Yorkshire Terriers typically weigh around 7 pounds and stand about 7–8 inches tall. However, some may be slightly larger or smaller depending on genetics and breeding.
Yorkies are known for being alert and vocal, often barking to alert their owners of new people or sounds. With consistent training and socialization, excessive barking can be managed effectively.
Yorkies can be affectionate and playful with children, especially when socialized early. Due to their small size, it’s important to supervise interactions with young children to prevent accidental injuries to the dog.
Yorkies have fine, silky hair that requires regular grooming. Daily brushing helps prevent tangles, and regular baths and trims keep their coat healthy. Many owners opt for a “puppy cut” for easier maintenance.
Common health concerns for Yorkies include hypoglycemia, dental issues, luxating patella, and tracheal collapse. Regular veterinary check-ups and a healthy diet can help mitigate these risks.
Despite their small size, Yorkies are energetic and benefit from daily walks and playtime. Short, frequent exercise sessions help keep them mentally and physically stimulated.
Yorkies are intelligent and eager to please but can be stubborn. Consistent, positive reinforcement training methods work best. Early socialization and obedience training are recommended.
Yorkie puppies require a balanced diet formulated for small breeds. Due to their small stomachs and risk of hypoglycemia, it’s advisable to feed them small, frequent meals throughout the day.
Yorkshire Terriers have a relatively long lifespan, often living between 12 to 15 years with proper care, regular veterinary visits, and a healthy lifestyle.
