How to groom a Yorkshire Terrier

Big Dog | October 27th, 2009

Big things in small packages are what the Yorkshire terrier is all about. Having so much adoring fans and owners, this dog is voted the most popular Toy dog in the United States. Fondly known as the “Yorkie”, it never fails to attract attention wherever it goes. Weighing approximately 7 pounds, one can identify them with either a ribbon or clip to hold its bangs up and a long, silky coat.

Admiring a Yorkie is quite different from making it look lovely. Their bluish tan coat needs care and attention to make them looking spectacular. Regular brushing and a bath every month would be the minimal requirement for them. However, to keep the long coats at their best, adding oil and wrapping the coat in rice paper or tissue paper will prevent any breakage of the hair. This is where it becomes a high maintenance procedure for the dog. But beauty as we all know, has its price.

Avoid unnecessary vet bills! Do your dog’s basic health check!

  1. I guess this is only slightly related to grooming but is it common for Yorkies to not like their nails being cut? We have two and one doesnt mine it but the other goes nuts,to the extent they are growing a bit long. Is there any way around this other than taking to the vet to get them to sleep through it?
