Yorkshire Terriers

They were bred for ratting; in other words, they were bred for catching rats in farms and for poor people, and they were (ahem, and still are) great pets and were easy to hide from kings and landlords.

Well, as long as you give it lots of ice cold water, yes. Also, let it swim if you have a blow-up pool (put a doggy life vest on it; can be found at pet stores both online or in a real store) or a real pool of your own; WATCH IT CLOSELY OR IT MAY DROWN DUE TO A DEFECT IN A LIFE VEST!!! I highly doubt that it would be a defect, but there's alwayys a possibility, so hold it and stay close to it, ok? Hope this helps! :)

A properly bred yorkiepoo can live 20 plus years. Many clueless breeders would debate this because they may have been over breeding their dogs or have purchased from a puppy mill. The saddest issue with this breed is they are highly abused by puppy mills. The average price is about 1,000. The cruel temptation of continuing to breed the same dog for profit is terrible. ALWAYS do your research before purchasing any animal. You don't want to contribute to animal abuse while you find yourself a pet.

I have had yorkiepoos my whole life. The oldest one is 25 now. He is still in great health. He is very frisky and loves to go for walks and play.

Yorkies are pets. There are no wild yorkies to eat anything.

Dogs are strange creatures on occasion, but this can be explained because they are much like humans. Both have certain levels of hormones that induce growth and ultimately maturity. As dogs reach a certain age those hormones cause them mature in some ways and also cause them to have strange urges. This is because when they reach maturity they are ready to dedicate to "the circle of life." As cheesy as it might sound this is true. Animals have both survival and reproductive instincts that aid their security and help their offspring to thrive. Reproduction helps to ensure variety and that their family line is not lost. This said it may seem absurd when dogs do this. If this happens make sure to scold them firmly. If you want to bred that is one thing, but if this is a behavior you dislike make sure the animal sees your disapproval.

teacup Yorkies do have human hair

you should tell them not ask them tell them to get you a new yorkie dog there dog should be put down!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i am so sorry for you i have a yorkie to and i love her so much she is only 8 weeks i hope you feel better

Yes they do grow but not that much. If you see pictures of them, they are usually in a tea cup so that's how they got their name and because of their size.

Yes, a Teacup Yorkie is recommended for an apartment. Small dogs make the best apartment dogs because they do not need as much room.

25 years, ....... Well now, my son is 35 with CIPA and my grand daughter also has CIPA, he just had a new baby born to him a month ago, so far so good.

Depending on how severe and the advice of your vet - most likely an operation to break the jaw and reset. Again depending on the bite (where the teeth meet) removal of any that obstruct a neat close. Or even nothing of it's live able for the dog.

I would consult a professional dog selling website for this information.

Small dogs such as Yorkshire terriers can be spayed as early as six months old. Spaying helps prevent accidental litters and will also prevent certain types of cancers.

Well, here's one at nine weeks off Google Images:

I only looked at it to answer this question!

the average lifespan is 12 to 15 years but they can live up to 20 years on very rare occasions

A yorkie is probably born about ever 5 minutes. So the number of yorkies left in the world today, has no actual answer.

multiply by seven

They do look like Yorkshires but they have a higher change of having some form of deformity because there genes are too close. Some of the deformities are not seen by the physical form some come internally and you will not find out until a problem shows up with the pets health. regular vet visits for these puppies are recommended.

They look like yorkies. You cant tell if there going to be tan/black/grey/whatever other colors that are involved. If your worried that they come from the same family and will have retardation or some other issue. That can happen anyway with two dogs not related. Dogs that are related have been having puppies for a long time. You cant tell until they come out.

They usually look much like their parents but, you never know. You will just have to wait for it to come out.

They should look like their parents

My yorkie loves to be out of the kitchen and lay on the couch with me

A Yorkshire terrier does not need much. They require food, water, and toys just like any other animal. They also need love and attention.

A Yorkie is a type of dog, and dogs do not menstruate. The bleeding they have is what occurs when they are in heat. The only animals that menstruate are human beings and other primates.

It is generally agreed that the best age to breed from a female is three years of age, but your Dog should be fine to mate after she has had at least two seasons.

There is a really high chance, so you might want to feed her allot and try to get some pounds and muscle on her. because she might be too small to get those puppies out.

the time it takes to grow hair depends alot on genetics and personal nutrition. To regrow hair will appear to take longer because you are starting from nothing, and may also be influenced by whatever caused the hair to fall out in the first place.
