Caring for your Yorkshire Terrier

The Breed

The Yorkshire Terrier is now one of the most popular pure-bred dogs in the country. Their small size makes them vulnerable to injury especially as they often do not realise their size. Excessive breeding has produced nervous and sometimes snappy dogs. However, generally they tend to be even tempered and good family dogs.

Exercise

They require little exercise and make ideal pets for older people.

Grooming

The coat tends to be silky and will grow to the floor if not trimmed regularly. Regular grooming is essential to keep the coat in good condition.
