Yorkshire Terrier

Advantages: Loving and giving and very very loyal

...History The Yorkshire Terrier is a British man-made dog and was introduced fairly recently. In the 1850's some Scottish weavers brought a small terrier dog with them from Scotland to Yorkshire. These 'Scotch Terriers,' sometimes known as 'Halifax Terriers' interbred with local small terriers. It is believed that Yorkies have some of the Manchester Terrier, the Maltese, the Skye, Dandie Dinmont and the Paisley terriers in them. The Yorkshire ...
... To buy a Yorkshire Terrier puppy will cost you anything in the region of £150 - £500 - some top class pedigrees can cost you £800.00. We got paid £150 .00 for Teddy (now 7 years old) and £160.00 for Scrappy (now 2 ½ years old). I am not convinced that either of them are from a very good pedigree family but they are both pedigrees and have their certificates to prove it. I think they were very cheap. Teddy's pedigree name is Tedrington Pudroe ... Read review

...dog Pendle. *Yorkies* Yorkshire Terriers are also known by the name “Broken – Haired Scottish Terrier.” Yorkshire Terriers were originally bred as ratting dogs and were used to go down small holes and chase out anything in there such as rats. This instinct is still clearly visible in these dogs as we can tell from our little yorkie who is always squeezing into small gaps and he will chase anything that moves! The Yorkshire Terrier breed was developed ...

Yorkies are very small dogs and are usually around 9ins (23cm) tall (short!) and they weigh in at around 7lb (3kg) Yorkies are usually black and brown in colour.

I got my Yorkshire Terrier, Misty when he was 9 weeks old. He is now 18 months. I had always had big dogs before, German Shepherds and Dalmations, but moved to a smaller house around the same time I lost my last dog, and decided to get one to fit the surroundings, so to speak. I have several friends who have Yorkshire Terriers. Like a lot of people, I was under the impression that they were yappy, snappy dogs. However, I started spending time with ...
...but he and all his Yorkshire Terrier friends are the exact opposite. Obviously he will have a bark if someone comes to the door or if he gets over excited, but most dogs do. Its not a problem at all though as as soon as we tell him to, he stops barking and just sits with his tail wagging. We took him to the vet for checkups etc when we got him, and other than ear mites, have had no problems, although the vet did say that a lot of dogs of this breed ... Read review

...The average age for a Yorkshire to live is 9 - 15 years.

...Our old dog Holly died over the Millennium. She was a sixteen year old Yorkshire Terrier. For most of her life she had been by herself but eight months before her demise we decided to get her another female companion. Jodie, A Yorkshire Terrier pup, was purchased from a dealer along with Pet Plan Insurance. A couple of months later we realised that if Holly passed away then Jodie would be all by herself. We then decided to buy Kissy from the same dealer. Kissy was another Yorkshire Terrier pup who seemed to be full of life, but within two week she started fitting. We took her to our vet and after a biopsy was discovered that she had a damaged liver. She had to be put down. Our vet delt with the claim form and Pet Plan paid us within two weeks. We decided that the money was best spent on buying another pup and we got summer, another... Read review

...With recently having a dog we decided to feed her Pedigree pouches, she loved them we started off buying her the puppy packs which she enjoyed, when she was old enough we started buying her the small adult dog packs which contains eight pouches for £2.88 (Sainsbury's). It contains 2 with chicken, 2 with lamb and poultry. 2 with rabbit and 2 with beef, there is just enough in each pouch for her, as we have a Yorkshire terrier she does not eat a lot but she really enjoys these pouches and I found them to be good value for money.

...behaved, he has his own dog seatbelt, so he can sit in the front and keep who-ever is driving company!! Poodles. Poodles come in 3 sizes. Standard, Miniature and Toy. Standard Poodles are the largest of them all they can grow very large (a bit bigger than a Labrador!) and as with all big dogs they need lots of exercise. Miniature Poodles are the middle size, they can be about as big as a spaniel and they too also need plenty of exercise. Toy poodles are the smallest and in my opinion the best out of all 3! They can be anything from about as big as a Yorkshire terrier to the size of a small spaniel. Max is a toy poodle and he is almost as big as my friends Cavalier King Charles. Poodles also come in a variety of colours including, black, apricot, white and chocolate. Grooming. Poodles require A LOT of grooming. They have coats made... Read review
