This breed of dogs was bred a little over 100 years ago. The factory workers of Glasgow lived small dogs, terriers, who mostly guarded the house from the rats. By the will of the circumstances, many workers in the textile factories in Glasgow were forced to move to the county of Yorkshire, along with them there moved small Yorkshire. Of course, then they were not as beautiful as they are now. Yorkie is popular precisely because of its appearance in Europe, Britain, America and Russia. For the first time in Russia, York came in 1971.
Yorkshire Terrier - a small dog with a delicate coat. It weighs about 3 kg, which is very convenient for keeping it in urban apartments. At home, it takes up little space, is distinguished by a great cleanliness and kind character towards children. This dog does not need to walk, since Yorkies are perfectly accustomed to the cat's toilet, so early in the morning they make their "affairs" themselves in the cat's tray. York's wool does not cause allergies, because in its structure it is similar to human hair.
Yorkshire Terriers are kind and loyal to their master, which makes them real family members. Meanwhile, Yorkshire terriers are not as harmless and meek as they seem at first sight, they are very brave, they can even attack a big dog on the street, protecting their master. They are sensitive "guards" at home. By nature, such dogs are innate leaders and activists, they love all the tastiest, best and most convenient: they are difficult to wean so that they do not sleep on your pillow so that they do not beg for the most delicious piece from your plate so that they do not jump you into your chair . Like all the terriers, the Yorkies are cunning, stubborn, persistent. If you miss something in his upbringing, he can give you a lot of trouble afterwards, so it's very important to approach the upbringing of York. Teach your pet behavior, teach his commands, do not indulge him, do not yield to anything from an early age. Yorkie puppies are moody, like children , you need to be able to establish your "parental" authority. At the same time, do not yell at York and especially do not beat him, he will understand you if you just apply a strict intonation in your voice, and on another occasion he will not do you spite. Roughly addressing the Yorkshire terrier, you will only provoke new "whims", who he will do from harm.
Yorkies are clever and grasp everything on the fly, so if you want, you will educate yourself an excellent, intelligent friend. York is easy to teach and teach to perform various tricks, which is especially good if the house has small children. Yorkians love to spend time with children, easily find a common language with them and are happy to participate in children's games.
York must be taken out for a walk in any weather. They are mobile and cheerful, so even in the cold and rain your pet will "reel" circles around the yard, chasing neighbor cats and pigeons. On a walk Yorkers overwhelmed with delight, so do not lock it at home alone, if you go to a nearby store.
