The Yorkshire Terrier Is Loyal
August 29, 2008
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.
The better Yorkie puppies are noticeably compact in build as well as athletic which is necessary to support their active habits, and their stance is upright while they exude great confidence as well. The gait of the average Yorkshire Terrier puppies are noticeably jaunty as well as free and they are always seen with their heads and also tails held high, and despite their toy size, are not either frail or even fragile.
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.
There are certain things to watch out for in Yorkie puppies that can help you choose the best one, including the quality of their coat color as well as the texture of the coat.
Also, good Yorkshire Terrier puppies will have glossy hair that is also silky and quite fine, though in some puppies the hair may turn out to be rather too fine, thereby causing a noticeable difference in their appearance. The coat should be of a dark steel blue color that must not mix with any fawn or black or even bronze hair, especially starting at the back of their necks and continuing to the base of the tail.
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.
You also need to look for Yorkshire Terrier puppies that have absolutely straight hair, which will need a lot of maintenance if you want to keep the hair clean as well as looking beautiful.
