The Yorkshire Terrior originated in England. People of England didn't actually know the name of the Yorkie. The were known as the ''little brown dogs" In the 1880's the people finally learned the name of this dog and really fell in love with the breed. It soon became a new, popular breed in the country. It was brought to other countries and eventually the United States in the early to mid 1990s. |
| For a small dog, the Yorkshire Terrier grows a lot of hair. Unless you want to have your pet trip over its own fur, you should get your Yorkshire Terrier professionally groomed, or at least trimmed, every 2-3 months. Some owners get a cut called a "classy cut." This is when the Yorkshire Terrier's hair is so long that you can't see its paws, and that its bangs are so long they have trouble seeing. |  |
 |
The bangs are commonly tied up with a bow or some sort of clip. There is also another cut called the "short cut." This cut is a layered kind of look. There are no bangs, and the dogs body is shaggy, just as if they were a puppy. Either cut is a good choice. You should personally wash your Yorkshire Terrier every month or so to keep it happy and clean. |
| A Yorkie is known as a cuddly lap dog. This little pup will steal you heart with its sweet innocence. They show their love for you by licking you about anything they can. A Yorkshire Terrier makes a great pet and will give you plenty of love. |  |
 |
A Yorkshire Terrier's only job is to be a loving pet. It is possible for Yorkie's to be put in shows, but not too many owners chose to do so. |
| A Yorkie's average life span is 9-12 years. But, because of their size, they can be injured or get sick more easily. So remember to be careful and cautious at all times. |  |
