The Yorkshire Terrier Is Loyal

by Susan Bailey

Yorkshire Terrier puppies, or just Yorkies as this breed of small dogs is known, are very playful dogs that have a very distinct colored coat, generally colored blue and tan. Yorkie puppies are pretty small in size and won’t weigh much either. And according to the American Kennel Club the Yorkshire Terrier puppy is the second most sought after dog breed in the U.S., being less popular only to Labrador Retrievers.

Yorkshire Terrier puppies are not going to grow taller than six to seven inches even when they become adults and another noticeable attribute is their long as well as fine and silky coat. In addition, the Yorkie puppy is not going to hang about the house, because he is an active breed though he only has an average rate of learning. In temperament, the Yorkie puppy is clever as well as affectionate and even somewhat aggressive, while his other traits are being energetic and also brave as well as loyal.

In appearance, the Yorkie puppy is rather compact and also athletically built which allows this breed to remain active throughout its life and it usually holds both tail and head high, while showing a great deal of confidence as well. In their gait, Yorkshire Terrier puppies are generally free as well as jaunty and their stance is upright while it is not frail or even fragile as you may have expected when thinking about its toy size.

Yorkie puppies don’t have an undercoat though they do have long hair which they do not shed much and in fact, their hair are a bit like those of humans and thus will grow non-stop without falling off except when brushed or when the hair break up. Usually, their coat is of black as well as tan color and even their black hair can mix with the tan color, which is known to stop once the puppy has fully matured.

Before you are able to choose the right puppy from a litter ofYorkshire Terrier puppies you must know of certain qualities that can help you distinguish the better puppies from the less than satisfactory ones. Thus, you need to ensure that the coat color is right and that the coat is of good quality in terms of its texture. The hair should be glossy while also being fine as well as silky.

However, not all good Yorkie puppies show these traits and some will show rather too fine and woolly coats, which makes their appearance a bit different as compared to the better Yorkshire Terrier puppies.

It is not necessary for every Yorkshire puppy to conform to the standard colors as far as their coat is concerned and thus it is quite common to come across Yorkie puppies that have especially black as well as woolly coats.

The better Yorkie puppies will generally have hair that is absolutely straight, though their coats do need a lot of maintenance work to keep them clean and in good order.
