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.

However, bringing a dog into the family is not always a smart thing to do. You need to make sure that both the children and the adult members of the family are ready for a furry friend, otherwise someone is likely to get disappointed over time. You also need to make sure that you are selecting the right breed and you are treating your dog in a way that guarantees your children’s safety.

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.
