offer big personalities in a
small package. The breed was
developed in the 19th century in
the county of Yorkshire,
England. A popular companion
dog, the Yorkshire Terrier is
energetic, smart and playful. They have
long, luxurious blue-and-tan
coats.
TEMPERAMENT
Despite their Teacup and Toy

don’t settle for a boring life.
The Yorkie is smart and
independent, making a breed that
is is both entertaining and
notoriously self-confident.
Yorkshire Terriers want to
please - they focus entirely on
their owner and are extremely
affectionate. They get along
very well with other dogs and
older children if treated with
care.
CARE
The Yorkshire Terriers

regular
grooming. Most Teacups.co.uk

puppy” clip, with the facial
hair left a bit longer than the
hair on the body. Trim the
nails every week or two. On the
plus side, Yorkshire Terriers
don’t shed, possibly making them
less problematic for some people
with allergies.
TRAINING
This breed is quick to learn.
Most Yorkshire Terriers respond well to
training because they enjoy all
the attention they receive.
Positive praise and food rewards
are key to training Yorkies.
Training must have consistency
and firmness.
ACTIVITY
The Yorkshire Terrier requires
minimal exercise. They are
suited for short walks and ideal
for apartment living or homes
with small gardens. They love
speed, action, and plenty of
applause, so activities such as
chase and tug of war are
tailor-made for them.
