The Yorkshire Terrier has in the last 20 years proven itself statistically to be one of the most popular of the toy breeds in the world.

This tiny dog with engaging personality and dauntless courage has endeared himself to pet lovers everywhere. His qualities as a companion are unsurpassed for he is possessed of great intelligence, the characteristic fearless and tenacity of a dog many times his size. He has the obvious practical advantage of diminutive size, making him the most obvious choice of a pet in this era of condensed living spaces.

The Yorkies’ appetite for long tireless walks, equaled by the alternative ability to exercise himself in a somewhat reduced space, makes him ideally suited to anywhere from urban to country living and he is thus adaptable to all lifestyles.

The aristocratic appearance of the Yorkshire Terrier is a tribute to the dedication of breeders who have taken the breed from its humble beginnings and produced the eye-catching dog of today. It should be remembered, however, that this lustrous coat can and will look its best only with constant grooming and attention from the owner, a point which should be noted carefully by you, the prospective buyer.

The pet owner who has neither the time nor the inclination to give his/her Yorkie the necessary daily brushing would be well advised to trim the coat to a manageable length and maintain it this way, as the Yorkie looks and feels happier with short carefree clip than a long, bedraggled and uncared for coat.

The current worldwide popularity of the Yorkshire Terrier, with its connotation of glamour and success, makes it difficult to believe in the very humble origins of the breed. It was in the coal mines, textile mills and homes of working men in Great Britain that this delightful little dog first became established.

Much of the appeal of the Yorkshire Terrier lies in its diminutive size and consequently it has a surprisingly small appetite. It is essential, therefore, that whatever food is offered should be as well balanced and wholesome as possible. Royal Canin has developed a breed specific food for Yorkies.

A Yorkshire Terrier from the coal mines of Great Britain, or in your home with its ability to be suited to anywhere from urban to country living and adaptable to your lifestyle can make a Yorkshire Terrier a pet lovers dream come true.
