Yorkshire Terriers are popular companion dogs and are known for their silky blue and tan coats. Despite their small stature, the Yorkie was able to establish its name throughout history. Here are some interesting facts about this breed and the individual Yorkies that made them famous.
Sylvia
According to the Guinness Book of World Records, the smallest dog ever to be recorded was a Yorkshire Terrier named Sylvia. Arthur Marples of Blackburn, England was her owner. Full-grown, Sylvia stood 2 ½ inches tall with a length of 3 ½ inches (from nose tip to tail) and weighed only 4 ounces. She lived for only 2 years because of her extremely small size in 1945.
Huddersfield Ben
Huddersfield Ben is an early Yorkshire Terrier and is referred as the “Father of the Breed.” During its lifetime, Ben won many prizes in dog shows and ratting contests making it a sought after stud of its time. Most Yorkie show dogs have one or more crosses to Huddersfield Ben in their pedigree influencing tremendously the breed type of today. Sadly, Ben was killed after being run over by a carriage at age 6. Its body was then preserved and kept under glass, allowing people to see the founding sire of the breed.
Smoky
This Yorkie is credited as the reason why interest in the breed was renewed during the time Yorkshire Terriers were almost lost in obscurity. Smoky was famous for being a war dog during World War II. An American soldier found her in the jungles of New Guinea and proved her worth in building an airbase in the Philippines. Smoky was tasked to run a telegraph wire underneath the structure and was successful in doing so, preventing the need of additional workers and chance of being spotted by enemies during the construction. What would take three days of digging, the dog was able to finish this in minutes.
This Yorkie puppy is so sleepy that he is barely able to stay awake. He looks so funny! These dogs require the most human attention and love, but I am sure they get it if they do things like this puppy. If you want an affectionate, cuddly and loyal pet, this breed might be the best for you. Yorkies don’t mind, if you have other pets in your family, as long as they respect their territory.
No doubt, if you would like to be the owner of a little, loyal, cuddly and affectionate pet that is also very brave compared to its size. People say that this breed requires the most human attention and love in the world compared to other dog breeds. They can be trained easily, but they require a lot of attention, consistency and praise during the training.
The hair of a Yorkshire Terrier is long, glossy, straight and silky that requires daily care, brushing on each day, a bath monthly and periodical trimming. Their weight is around 7 lbs and their height is usually 8-9 inches.
They can be good watchdogs as they are very brave. They can get on well with other dogs and pets in the family but they can be territorial, so they prefer to be the only dogs in the house and like to have their space respected. Sadly, this breed is prone to health issues so regular visits to the vet are needed.
All in all, Yorkies are the best for people living in an apartment, while they require little daily exercise, so a short daily walk with lots of love and attention is the best for this breed.
I hope this short introduction about the Yorkshire Terrier breed will be helpful for you to decide.
