Yorkshire Terrier Gifts

The Yorkshire Terrier, also called the "Yorkie", breed of toy dog developed about the mid-1800s in the English counties of Yorkshire and Lancashire. The lineage of the breed is unknown but appears to include several terriers, such as the Skye and Dandie Dinmont; it may also include the Maltese. The most outstanding feature of the Yorkie is its straight, silky coat, parted on the back from nose to tail and long enough to sweep the ground. Colour is dark blue-gray, with tan on the head and chest. A small, compact dog, about 8" at the shoulder. Eyes should be medium sized and not protruding or prominent. The Yorkshire terrier is generally healthy and spirited, and valued as a pet and companion. Yorkies are smart, affectionate, alert and courageous. Although very active, they are still suitable for smaller dwellings because of their small size. Keep in mind that it takes a lot of work to maintain the long coat; however, they can be kept clipped.
