Yorkshire Terrier

History / Profile of Yorkshire Terrier

The history of the Yorkshire Terrier began during the Industrial Revolution in England when Scottish workers brought with them small dogs, which in those days were called paisley terriers or Clydesdale terriers. Workers in those distant times lived in extremely unfavorable conditions, and rats in their more than modest homes, there was an unimaginable number, in fact, dogs were chosen precisely to combat rodents.

Of course, those dogs were almost twice the size of modern Yorkshire Terriers. Today, researchers cannot say exactly which dogs the Paisley Terriers crossed with, but suggest that it was an English black-and-tan toy terrier. Skye terrier and also, quite possibly, a Waterside Terrier. In any case, later it turned out to be a dog that was very similar to the current Yorkshire Terrier and has not changed much since then.

This dog was no longer suitable for catching rats, as it was very small in size, however, after the show at the so-called bench show in 1861, it began to gain popularity among the aristocracy. This is not surprising - a cute character, attractive appearance, non-standard hair that can grow very long, and gives a lot of space for the imagination of a dog hairdresser (groomer) - all this instantly attracted attention.  However, then they were not yet called Yorkshire terriers. The name appeared nine years later, in 1870. Most of all, the breed developed in Yorkshire and therefore received the appropriate name. The dog Huddersfield Ben born in 1865 is considered the ancestor of the breed.  In the studbook of the British Kennel Club, the Yorkshire Terrier was registered for the first time in 1874, and the first club of these dogs in England appeared in 1898. The first mention of the birth of a dog of this breed in the United States dates back to 1872, and participation in exhibitions in America began in 1878. To date, this is one of the most popular breeds of decorative dogs in the UNITED STATES and Europe, and the CIS countries are no exception.

The main distinguishing feature, perhaps, is the wool - it can grow incredibly long.  There is an opinion that too small representatives of this breed are more prone to various genetic diseases. The paws are proportional to the body, the tail is short, can be both curved and dangling. The ears are triangular, erect. The body is fragile and the neck is long.   Personality The Yorkshire Terrier breed of dogs is a very cute and good-natured animal, whose vocation is to be an ideal companion to every person. They are not malicious, very open, and are like young children who live in a carefree world.  Sometimes you can meet a Yorkshire Terrier that reacts aggressively to a stranger, barks at him, or tries to grab him by the pant leg - this happens. Usually, this is due to a lack of upbringing, which is the fault of dog owners themselves, although, one cannot discount heredity, on which sometimes a lot depends.  They love walks, games with other dogs, love to fool around, and generally love different types of activity. Children are treated perfectly; they are always happy to play with them. They tolerate the road, travel well, but they do not tolerate loneliness and separation from loved ones - this should be avoided if possible. Moreover, since the dog is very small, it is easy to take it with you on the road, if, for example, you are going on vacation.  Despite the kind character, some individuals may show excessive barking, or excessive briskness towards other dogs, including large ones. Especially in the presence of the hosts. This must be fought in the right way, otherwise barking about and without can become a headache for both the owner and others. On the other hand, in the circle of their beloved people, these dogs are extremely friendly and open.  They require early socialization in order to behave as harmoniously as possible in the circle of other animals and people. The Yorkshire Terrier is well suited as a first pet, although it requires attention and care. Perfectly adapts to different conditions of detention.   Teaching The Yorkshire Terrier breed is decorative, used exclusively as a companion dog, and therefore the number of commands that they are trained is minimized. You definitely need to pay attention to the correction of behavior and the formation of the correct character, in order for the animal to behave skillfully with different people in different situations.  In addition, it is necessary to focus on obedience, so that you can stop this or that impulse at will. After all, if a toy dog begins to attack a large dog, and you do not have time to run away quickly enough, the result will be deplorable. First of all - for you and for your pet.  Keep in mind that the Yorkshire Terrier is not capable of prolonged concentration on tasks during the training process, so you need to do short sessions with breaks for games. Do not forget about rewarding your pet for correctly completing tasks. In addition, pay attention to fixing the material in everyday life, during walks or at home - usually, there are plenty of situations for this.   Care The coat of the Yorkshire Terrier can grow very long, and therefore, the specifics of care will depend on what hairstyle for your pet you choose. Depending on the length of the coat, you will need to comb it at least 1 time per week or more often.  Always keep your pet's ears and eyes clean, and trim your nails in time. You need to bathe the dog about 2-3 times a week. If the pet sleeps with you in the same bed that meets, sometimes it has to be bathed more often.  Yorks are very sensitive to cold, so in winter they need warm clothes.   Common diseases The Yorkshire Terrier breed may have health problems associated, among other things, with genetic diseases. These include:  distichiasis; lack of formation of the turning point of the second cervical vertebra, which leads to damage to the spinal cord, the disease is not associated with age, the signs begin with neck pain up to quadriplegia; Legg-Calvet-Perthes syndrome; sliding kneecaps are a genetic defect inherent in the Yorkshire terrier breed, but it can also be caused by accidental trauma; portosystemic shunt, congenital malformation of the portal vein; the collapse of the trachea, caused by the progressive weakening of the walls of the trachea, is found in many ornamental breeds, especially Yorkies having smaller than average size; hypoglycemia.
