  • Physical Appearance of the Yorkshire Terrier

    There are many people who have heard of the Yorkshire terrier but they don’t know what it looks like and where it has come from. This article will endeavor to describe the physical appearance of the Yorkshire terrier and explain a little bit about the background of this amazing little dog.

    The physical appearance of the Yorkshire terrier that you see today, originated from the earlier breeds of terriers that were used as rat catchers in the Northern parts of England back in the mid 19th century. They were a lot larger back then as they needed to be to catch and kill the enormous black rats that plagued the streets and the coal mines in the industrial parts of England.

    The physical appearance of the Yorkshire terrier has change a lot over the years due to a century of select breeding between different types of terriers. The first Yorkshire terrier that was shown was in 1870 but it wasn’t until 1874 that the British Kennel Club first accepted the Yorkshire terrier as a pure breed of dog. Ever since that point in time, select breeding has continued amongst the line of Yorkshire terriers.

    The physical appearance of the Yorkshire terrier today is that it is a very small dog, about 5-7 pounds in weight and a very thin frame. They tend to have a very long silver coat which covers most of their body, with a tanned section that takes up the parts of the head and legs. Many owners choose to shave the coat as it does require a lot of hard work and maintenance.

    If you want to show your dog however, then the best physical appearance of a Yorkshire terrier is one that has a long silver coat that has no signs of knots in it at all and a long section on the face that runs down away from the eyes and towards the neck. This is the perfect physical appearance of the Yorkshire Terrier, but what about it’s temperament? What makes the best showdog?

    Well the best type of Yorkshire terrier personality for showing is one that shows no sign of their infamous aggressive nature that most terriers carry in their genetic makeup. It should also stand tall and proud as this tends to impress the judges a lot. There are many Yorkshire terriers that don’t stand tall and instead show signs of shyness, especially around other dogs. This is mostly due to the fact that it has grown up in a secluded environment and hasn’t had much contact with the outside world.
