Originating in England, Yorkies earned their living as ratters in mines and mills long before they became the beribboned lapdogs of Victorian ladies. The Yorkshire Terrier is a compact, toy-sized terrier of no more than seven pounds with a life expectancy of 11-15 years!

Tenacious, feisty, brave, and sometimes bossy, the Yorkie exhibits all the traits of a faithful terrier. Often named the most popular dog breed in various American cities, Yorkies pack many big-town attitudes into a small but self-important package. They are the favorites of urbanites all over the world! Yorkies are long-lived and hypoallergenic (the coat is more like human hair than animal fur) and make fine little watchdogs. This is a true 'personality breed, providing years of laughs, love, and close companionship!
Yorkies have a split coat…meaning…the head, belly, legs, and feet are one color and the saddle
area is another color. The standard colors are gold or tan for the head and blue-grey or black for the saddle
area. Their hair is long, straight, and lovely. They do not shed…(YEA!). The standard size for the breed is 7 pounds and under. Adult Yorkies under 4 pounds are often called, “teacup Yorkies.” Their true adult size,colors, health, and beauty become apparent as they age.
