Yorkshire Terrier is ranked by the Canadian Canine Club in Group 5: Dwarf Dog. It’s a dwarf burrow. It is square and its long hair, in adulthood it is blue steel with shades of golden fire on the head and legs.

Yorkshire of quality has a silky fur, lustrous, brilliant and hypo allergen. It must not be cotton or woolen. He has a small head at the snout not too long, the nose is black, the eyes are oval and dark brown. The outline of the eye is defined as if it were made up. The ears are small, in the shape of V and straight brought. Usually, the tail is shortened and the lugs are removed.

The most common problem at York is tartar on the teeth. That’s why it’s recommended to brush them every day. It may also need a descaling in the veterinarian.

Yorkshire is alert, vigorous and playful. He has a great intelligence and likes to please. As it should not exceed 7 pounds, it can live very well in condo or apartment. Overflowing with energy, it adapts both to life in the countryside. However, it is not recommended for children under 4 years old.

What about Yorkshire Toy now, Tea Cup, miniature?
All these appellations do not formally exist. It is called to speak very small subjects; Less than 3 pounds. It is also called pocket dog. It is not desirable to acquire an York at the bottom of 4 pounds. These are often achieved with diseases (hypoglycemia, allergies, Liver Shunt, Luxation of ball joints, etc.) and behavioral disorders such as shaking, anxiety separation, aggressiveness. Yorkshire is by definition a miniature dog, in English we say that it is part of the group 5: Toy Dog just like Maltese bichon and the thumbnail poodle.
