Yorkshire Terrier Dog Picture & Information
The most devout lover of this charming and beautiful terrier
would fail if he were to attempt to claim for him the distinction of descent
from antiquity. Bradford, and not Babylon, was his earliest home, and
he must be candidly acknowledged to be a very modern manufactured variety
of the dog. Yet it is important to remember that it was in Yorkshire that
he was made--Yorkshire, where live the cleverest breeders of dogs that
the world has known.

Origin

Physical Attributes
Yorkshire Terrier normal height is about 6-7 inches and weigh about 7 pounds. Yorkshires are characterized by a flat head, black nose and erect ears.
Its steal blue, fine, silky coat parts along the spine and falls down on either side.
Health Information
Their life expectancy is about 15 years. The dog requires regular grooming and the teeth should also be cleaned regularly. Yorkshires are prone to lung problems and tooth decay. Regular cleaning of their teeth will prevent them from falling out at an early age. Yorkshire terriers also develop cataracts in their old age.
Miscellaneous Information
For the full display of their beauty, Yorkshire Terriers depend very much upon careful grooming. It is only by grooming that the silvery cascade of hair down the dog's sides and the beautiful tan face-fall that flows like a rain of gold from his head can be kept perfectly straight and free from curl or wrinkle; and no grease or pomade, even if their use were officially permitted, could impart to the coat the glistening sheen that is given by the dexterous application of the brush.
The gentle art of grooming is not to be taught by theory. Practice is the best teacher. But the novice may learn much by observing the deft methods employed by an expert exhibitor.
