Yorkshire Terrier

The Yorkie is a member of the AKC Toy Group. As a Terrier he is a highly spirited dog. He is lively and playful. His coat is long and silky and non-shedding, but needs care. As a pet, (opposed to a “Show Dog”), he looks just as cute and is definitely more comfortable with his coat kept shorter. He is lovable and enjoys cuddling. As an adult he is the smallest and the most fragile of the breeds I raise. He will fare much better in a home where small children cannot inadvertently harm him Colors are black, with tan, gold or steel blue around the face and neck and sometimes the back. AKC SHOW STANDARD lists his weight as under 7 pounds.
