Everything You Wanted To Know About Yorkies (but were
afraid to ask)
written by Loreta Serafini
-
Yorkies are a relatively young
breed, about 100 years old with origins in Yorkshire, England.
-
Yorkies were originally bred to be
approximately 10 lbs in weight and were ratters (rat killers).
-
Yorkies are distinct because of
their unique blue and tan colour and because their coat is a lustrous silk.
-
Yorkies of today weigh under 7
pounds and generally over 3 pounds.
-
They are a long lived and hearty
breed but are prone to a few serious disorders.
-
A Yorkie's coat does not shed; it
is trimmed much like human hair.
-
Many allergy sufferers claim that
the Yorkie is hypo-allergenic.
-
Yorkies rank 27th on a list of
over 100 dog breeds for intelligence. They rank higher
than any other
terrier and higher than Samoyeds, Newfoundlands, and all Setters.
-
Yorkies frequently live to 15
years.
-
Yorkies are on the "Top 10 List" for popularity.
