It is said that companionship is the longest confession of love. Who can accompany us all the time and be loyal to us? It should only be puppies! It is very popular to keep pet dogs recently. For me who is in a foreign country, I also I want to buy a dog to accompany me. In order to reflect my unique personality, I am also planning to choose a more unique dog to keep. When I saw the Yorkshire Terrier, I was very excited. This is what I want. I must introduce him to you and make sure you like it.

1. Introduction to Yorkshire Terrier

(1) You would never have thought that dogs can catch mice! Yes, there is such a weird thing. The Yorkshire Terrier was first raised by the British to catch mice. When you hear this, will you think that he is very weird? Huge and fierce. In fact, the Yorkshire Terrier is a very attractive toy-type dog breed. Charming and intelligent, although small, they are brave, loyal and affectionate dogs. Vibrant, impulsive, brave, but stubborn. Friendly, stubborn, active, agile and brisk, enthusiastic and loyal to the owner, but shy away from strangers.

(2) The Yorkshire Terrier is very clingy and can easily establish good relationships with other members of the family; he also has a strong sense of protection, which is not only for himself, but also for the friends around him. ; If the friends around him are bullied, the Yorkshire Terrier will stand up for the friends. Although he is only small in size, once a fight breaks out, he is not afraid to back down.

(3) The coat of Yorkshire Terrier is not very long and thick and is not easy to comb. It is suitable for apartment living and is a good toy dog. Once the owner takes the dog out for outdoor exercise, it is best to do short-distance exercise, and clean the teeth, eyes and external auditory canal regularly; brushing and dry cleaning are necessary every day, and just keep the hair close to the ground. The hair on the head should be tied up; avoid eating hard food or biting hard objects, as teeth can easily fall out.

2. Appearance characteristics of Yorkshire Terrier

(1) The appearance of the Yorkshire Terrier should be the most controversial. Some people think it is extremely beautiful, while others think it is the ugliest little dog. For me, the Yorkshire Terrier is a small toy dog ​​with a rather unique and weird appearance. It has blue and brown coats. Part of the coat on the face and the coat from head to tail hang straight and supple on both sides of the body. The body is small, compact and well proportioned. His head is held high, exuding confidence, self-respect and energy. At first glance, he looks like a wealthy dog.

(2) The Yorkshire Terrier is small and generally does not exceed 7 pounds. The color of the puppies at birth is black and brown, and the color is very dark. His color is brown with black hairs until he reaches adulthood. It is important for an adult dog to have a large amount of brown on the head and legs. No smoky or black hair should be mixed with brown. It is blue from the back of the neck to the root of the tail. The color of the tail is dark blue, especially the tip of the tail. Below the elbow of the front leg and from the knee of the hind legLots of bright brown underneath. So the color of Yorkshire Terrier is also very strange.

(3) The Yorkshire Terrier is unique in its coat. When I saw the Yorkshire Terrier for the first time, my first reaction was that its coat is five times longer than that of an ordinary dog. Because of this, the quality of the Yorkshire Terrier breed is also determined by the coat. The texture, quality and quantity of the coat are very important. The coat is shiny, fine, and silky. The coat on the body is fairly long and straight (without any waves). The hair on the top can be combed into a knot in the middle, or separated from the middle, combed to both sides, and tied into two buns. Every time I comb the Yorkshire Terrier's coat, I feel like I'm combing my own child's hair, which feels very comforting.

3. How to train Yorkshire Terrier

(1) Yorkshire Terrier is a very smart small dog and training is relatively simple. Feeding training must start from an early age, and you must not be soft-hearted. Once you let him develop bad habits, it will be difficult to correct them. Fixed toileting places, meal times, pigtail tying, and grooming times must be trained from an early age. Yorkies may not be obedient as adults.

(2) Training does not have to be routine. We can prepare a cage for it when we go out for a walk, and put it in a few toys and clean water to train it. The most effective method can be to adopt a reward and punishment system. The Yorkshire Terrier is relatively clingy, and it is best for the owner to spend more time with him. In fact, training is a simple and repeated process. The more times he repeats it, the more he will remember it and form a habit.

4. Are Yorkshire Terriers easy to raise?

Modern people are very busy every day, so when raising pet dogs, they will choose good ones to feed. The Yorkshire Terrier is also a small dog that is easy to raise. First of all, because of its small size, the activity area does not need to be large, and the owner does not need to take it out for a walk every day; secondly, the Yorkshire Terrier does not shed hair and is easy to take care of. Yorkshire Terriers are lively but not noisy, very well-behaved, and will not disturb their owners' rest.

5. Yorkshire Terrier price

The price of Yorkshire Terrier is variable, but the general price is above 1,000 and rarely goes for hundreds of dollars. Female Yorkshire Terrier is generally much more expensive than male. When I bought it, the price was always around 5,000-6,000 (male). Close to 5,000, and more than 6,000 for the mother). Of course, the ones in better condition may go up to 8,000. Of course, there are also ones priced around 2,000. The difference in coat color, size, age, and bloodline can determine the price. It is recommended that you go to pet stores when purchasing.

Summary: Yorkshire Terriers are relatively average in terms of IQ, but they are still considered smart. Ranked 27th in pet dog intelligence. In fact, their intelligence is not inferior to that of the VIPs, Su Mu, Golden Retriever, etc. It's just that the execution of the movements is not so smooth. We may need a little more patience to teach it.
