Yorkie Puppies

While a Toy, and at various times a greatly pampered one, the Yorkie is a spirited dog that definitely shows its terrier strain. The Yorkie's length of coat makes constant care necessary to protect it from damage, but the Yorkie is glad to engage in all the roistering activities of the larger terrier breeds.

Most believe that the Yorkshire Terrier puppy  is the product of comingling Scottish and English terriers when many Scots were displaced by the Industrial Revolution  and settled in England. Though pedigrees are not available for the first Yorkshire Terrier ancestors, several breeds have been suggested, including the Old English Black and Tan, which is also considered the ancestor for the Welsh Terrier and the Manchester Terrier, the Waterside Terrier, the Clydesdale Terrier, and the Paisley Terrier. The Scottish influence, brought in by the weavers during the industrial revolution, are the same ancestors as the Scottish Terrier, West Highland White Terrier, and Cairn Terrier (all once one breed). Many have suggested that at some time the Maltese, an old breed from Malta, may be in the backgound of some as well.

The original Yorkshire Terrier, known as the "Broken-Haired Scotch Terrier" was a 12-to-14 pound dog with wire hair whose intended purpose was the catching of rats and other vermin that lived in small spaces.

In  1870, the breed was renamed the Yorkshire Terrier, after the county of  Yorkshire, England where the breed is believed to have originated. The father of the breed is considered to be Huddersfield Ben, who was born in 1865 and died in 1871 from a carriage accident, the inbred offspring of a mother and son. Huddersfield Ben was bred by Mr. W. Eastwood Huddersfield. A multiple champion, Huddersfield Ben set the foundation for what would develop into the modern Yorkie.

Yorkshire terrier puppies, breed of small, spirited Yorkshire, England, in the mid-19th cent. It stands about 9 in. (22.8 cm) high at the shoulder and weighs from 4 to 7 lb (1.8–3.2 kg). Its long, straight, glossy coat is finely textured and is dark steel blue and tan in color. Although the Yorkshire Terrier puppy is a "human-made" breed, precisely what dogs were used in its creation remains largely a matter of speculation since no breeding records were kept and the Yorkshire area contained many popular toy and terrier types that could have been used for crossbreeding.

The Yorkshire Terrier puppy , though a toy breed, still retains much of its Terrier  ancestry in terms of personality. Though Yorkie puppy personalities differ from dog to dog generally Yorkies are Intelligent, Independent and Spunky. Yorkie puppies specially males, are very territorial and are known for their disregard for the limitations of their own size.  Yorkie puppies will often attack much larger dogs despite their extreme size disadvantage. Yorkie puppies typically get along well with cats or other dogs, and love to play together in groups. However, they are still terriers, and even an old, sedentary lap dog will eagerly hunt rodents. Because Yorkshire terrier puppies are so small, they are easily injured, so while Yorkie puppies will get along very well with children, it can be dangerous for the Yorkie puppy  to keep it in a house with small or abusive children.

Adult Yorkshire Terriers

Yorkies tend to develop cataracts in their old age, but their small size limits the effects of conditions such as arthritis. There is also the possibility of  Trachea collapse, the cause of which is thought by many to be partially genetic, and partially caused by environment- specifically, the strain an energetic Yorkie puts on its neck when straining against its collar. Most veterinarians recommend use of a harness instead of a collar to help prevent the chronic coughing caused by partial trachea collapse. As with many purebred dogs, the Yorkshire Terrier is prone to certain  genetic disorders. Most common is the liver shunt (portosystemic shunt). In this condition some of the dog's blood bypasses the liver and as such does not get cleaned of those toxins that the liver is responsible for removing. A Yorkie with this condition might exhibit some or all of the following symptoms: small stature, poor muscle development, behavioral abnormalities, unresponsiveness, seizures, and so on; however, if treated by a veterinarian, the condition is most often reversible in time.

Information about two famous Yorkshire Terriers

Smoky Yorkshire Terrier puppy

Smoky was a Yorkshire Terrier who belonged to William Wynne of Ohio. Mr. Wynne adopted Smoky while serving with the 5th Air Force in the Pacific Theatre. Mr. Wynne trained Smoky to perform various tricks to entertain himself and his comrades. Smoky was later entered in Yank Magazines.

Smoky became a war dog when she used her small size to her advantage and helped to ?run? communication wire through a culvert that was under a runway. Without Smoky's assistance, the runway would need to be excavated while the cable was laid.
