well, i don't know all of the health risks, but i recently had a yorkie that died from collapsing trachea. (it's common in all small dog breeds)
No, they are hypoallergenic. I have a 6 month old yorkie poo, and the only sign I have seen of her hair coming out is when I brush her.
Yes. But VERY carefully. Its best to have someone else hold to dog. Make sure you are in a well lit area and move VERY slowly. Its best to do it when its clean as urine on the hair makes it more difficult.
Yes. Think about a yorkie which weighs 2-4 pound and a great dane which weighs 150-250 pounds. Which bark could be higher pitched? the yorkie
Approximately 62 days. You can tell when she will go into labor, because she will start nesting behavior and temperature will drop about 1 degree from her normal temperature. Normal temp is usually between 36.5 and 38.5 degrees celcius
63
Yes, they are.
"The typical fine, straight, and silky Yorkshire Terrier coat has also been listed by many popular dog information websites as being hypoallergenic. In comparison with many other breeds, Yorkies do not shed to the same degree, only losing small amounts when bathed or brushed. [8] and it is the dog's dander and saliva that trigger most allergic reactions.[9] Allergists do recognize that at times a particular allergy patient will be able to tolerate a particular dog, but they agree that "the luck of the few with their pets cannot be stretched to fit all allergic people and entire breeds of dogs."[10] The Yorkshire Terrier coat is said to fall out only when brushed or broken, or just said to not shed.[11] Although neither of those statements agree with what biologists, veterinarians, and allergists know about dog fur, allergists "think there really are differences in protein production between dogs that may help one patient and not another",[10] meaning that some allergic people may not have allergic reactions to a specific dog, like the Yorkie." -Wikipedia
When I recently purchased my westie/yorkie mix the breeder called her a "Workie" When I recently purchased my westie/yorkie mix the breeder called her a "Workie" Nope - A Yorkie Westie mix/hybrid is called a "Fourche Terrier." Mine looks like a very small Cairn terrier (i.e., a smaller version of "Toto"). She's 2 now, all terrier and full of personality. Over the past year, her coat has slowly gone from coarse and barely there to long, wavy, silky, much lighter in color - and it's still changing in the craziest way. It started changing at her tail area, and slowly started moving up her back and the new coat is now almost to her shoulders. The difference in color and texture is like two different coats - crazy!! But it's awesome to watch the process and the color is just gorgeous. She's the best of both the Yorkie and the Westie!! Have fun with yours new little friend!!
I think that they got it from the town of Yorkshire, England. They originated there.
Puppies are born with fur, unless they are a 'hairless' breed or there's a genetic defect in the dog.
Honestly, they could not be eating for a lot of reasons.
1.They don't like their food. In this case try new food.
2.They aren't comfortable in their surroundings. Try moving their food bowl to another place.
3. they might have a cold or flu. Take them to the vet's.
4.there could be a serious disease. Get them to the vet's as soon as possible.
No. All dogs only see in black, grey and white. Just like the old movies. Hope this helps!
Actually, they see color, but their chromatic acuity is significantly less than humans'. This is for two reasons: (1) dogs have far fewer cone cells in their retina (cone cells are responsible for seeing color); and (2) dogs are dichromatic (the see only two primary colors - blue and yellow)
nothing bad but you need to get him/her a chew toy
When coat is ready to strip, it will feel harsh and dry to touch. At this point, the top-coat will come away easily for hand stripping. Pinch a SMALL piece of hair at a time and pluck gently but firmly in the direction of coat growth. Start at the shoulders / back of neck and work down smoothly in small sections. Be careful when doing undercarriage, thighs etc - these areas tend to be more sensitive.
a Yorkshire terrier has a lifespan of 12-15 years..
Smart and self-assured, the Yorkshire Terrier is a combination of endearingly small size and adventurous terrier spirit.

You probably mean the Bedlington Terrier. They were bred to hunt mice, but they take on a curious lamb-like appearance.
Its height can be up to 5-7 inches and weight up to 4-7 lbs.
Well, no dogs mouth is cleaner than a humans pretty darn sure. Do we eat from toilets and gross stuff like that? I didn't think so. Well, dogs do! Do we lick humans? I didn't think so. Well dogs do. Do we eat dead animals? NO! Dogs do that sometimes like the dog across the street from me. Plus, we brush our teeth and tongues, dogs don't do that unless their owner does it for them but not all the time does that happen. So, I don't think ANY dog in the world has a cleaner mouth than a human. Just what I believe, don't think I'm stupid.
When they are 12-18 months old. Also there can be a very large variation in size for a 'purebred' Yorkshire terrier. Either way it should be a dog under 10 lbs but over 4 lbs.
They can, but i dont recommend it, the dachshund puppies, should stay with the mother dachshund.
Yorkies can be different sizes depending on what type of yorkie. The Teacup Yorkies can fit into a teacup. The Toy Yorkies can get up to about 1 1/2 feet. The regular Yorkies can get up to about 2 feet.
Its not a good idea to regularly feed a dog cat food as the nutritional needs of a canine are different than a feline. It will not hurt your dog and it is better than letting it go hungry. When there are both dogs and cats in a home the dogs often eat the leftovers.
you could try You might end up with a... Pugshire? I don't know. But (for the best possible results) the dogs should be at the ideal breeding age, about the same size, and fully medically tested for disease, fertility, etc. You should also ask your veterinarian for the go-ahead on this particularly adventurous breeding venture.
Depends on the breed, and other factors - this is a question for your Veterinarian. Normally, chocolate is very bad for canines.
