BACKGROUND OF THE YORKSHIRE TERRIER

The Yorkshire Terrier was created around the middle of the 19th Century by crossing a number of Terrier varieties that existed at that time. This was done around the middle to north of England, especially in the County of Yorkshire, hence the name Yorkshire Terrier.

The "early" Yorkshire Terriers could be as large as 6kg (14 lbs.) and were used, like other Terrier breeds, to kill rats. Over the time breeders produced a smaller, more beautiful dog that was a household pet and show dog, rather than a rat killer.

AVERAGE LIFESPAN

When considering a dog, please realise that you are taking it on for its lifetime. Yorkshire Terriers can live up to 16 years of age and occasionally even older.

AVERAGE SIZE & WEIGHT

Yorkshire Terriers generally weigh
from 1.8 kg (4 lbs) to 3.2 kg (7 lbs).

Eby Yorkshire Terrier Picture

The Yorkshire Terrier is the smallest Terrier breed of dog that is most commonly seen in the World.

They are very efficient for his size as a guard dogs and will not miss a sound of someone approaching.

Yorkie’s do not necessarily have to live in a house with a big garden! The Yorkshire Terrier adapts very well to a flat, provided there is enough room for all the exercise he needs. Remind you they must be taken out often and given some good long walks.
