About The Breed
ADVERTISEMENT
The Yorkshire Terrier, (diminutive / nickname: Yorkie), is a breed of small dog, one of many toy dog breeds. Yorkies can be very small, usually weighing between 5 and 7 lb (2.5 to 3.5 kg).
Appearance
The Yorkie has a compact, small build. It holds itself in an upright, sprightly manner which makes it look confident and self-assured (a reflection of its temperament). Its appearance should be one of spirit, cleverness, curiousity, and vigour. Dogs that appear sullen or life-less are to be penalized. It is solidly built and balanced, and must not appear weak.
Coat and color
The Yorkie should have a long, steel blue and tan coat that hangs straight and parts down the middle. However, many Yorkies do not conform directly to the standard. Some coats are black or silvery grey on the body. Tan is on the face and legs. The hair is usually straight and will grow long. Yorkies can also have somewhat wavy hair, although it is not acceptable for show dogs. In either case, Yorkie hair is soft, silky, fine, and high-maintenance, and must either be trimmed short or washed and brushed frequently. Show dogs often have their hair 'wrapped' in rice paper, after a light oiling. This prevents the hairs from being broken easily, and keeps the coat in condition. The nose, paw-pads, lips, and eye-rims must be darkly pigmented.
