The Yorkshire Terrier is one of America's favorite dog breeds. The United States AKC ranked it sixth favorite dog in 2003.
If you like small dogs with big dog attitudes, you may want to consider a Yorkshire Terrier. These dogs are so sure that they are just as big and bad as the other guy, that they will not hesitate to take on a Great Dane. Of course, this doesn't mean that Yorkshire Terriers aren't lap dogs. The Yorkie can cuddle with the best of them.
The Yorkshire Terrier is a member of the American Kennel Club's Toy Group. In the show ring, a Yorkie seems to glide across the ground, since the dog's long, flowing coat hides its tiny feet.
Although Yorkies can be as small as one pound, most breeders do not recommend trying to breed dogs this tiny, and for good reason. When dogs are bred to be this tiny, health is often sacrificed for size and weight. The AKC calls for the Yorkie to be under seven pounds, but does not have a minimum required weight.
Yorkshire Terriers have long flowing coats of silver, blue or black hair, with tan on their heads and legs. Yorkie puppies are all born with black and tan coloring. This breed has dark, intelligent eyes.
The Yorkshire Terrier is an ideal apartment dog. Of course, your Yorkie would enjoy having a yard to romp in, but he can survive without it.
In fact, some Yorkshire Terriers do not go out at all. These dogs are litter trained, instead. If you do not take your Yorkie for daily walks, you should look for ways to help him get some exercise, such as playing an indoor game of fetch.
If you do have a yard, be sure that there are no gaps under the fence, as Yorkies love to explore. Since these dogs are so small and cute, a Yorkshire Terrier doesn't always have a chance to get back home before a passerby takes the little dog home, thinking it is lost or abandoned.
Yorkshire Terriers are sociable little dogs and enjoy being in the midst of all the activity and bustle of family life. However, these dogs are not a good choice for families with toddlers.
This is not because Yorkies are untrustworthy with children, but because they are delicate little dogs and can be easily injured. A Yorkshire Terrier with a good temperament will allow children to squeeze, poke and pull on him, but it is unfair to subject a little dog to that treatment.
Despite the fact that a Yorkie is small, you should still take your puppy to obedience classes. These little guys have a tendency to become stubborn and set in their ways without proper training. Also, obedience training may save your Yorkshire Terrier's life if you are able to call him back to you if he escapes out the front door.
Yorkshire Terriers have few serious health problems. They do often have dental problems, such as retained baby teeth. Other problems these little guys can have are hernias and hypoglycemia.
Food for your Yorkshire Terrier will probably be your smallest expense. These little dogs don't eat much. However, you will have to be careful that you don't spoil your puppy with soft food or he may refuse to eat dry food, which will help you keep his teeth in better shape.
Most Yorkies should be groomed at least three times a week to keep their hair from matting. Dogs with silkier coats may only need to be groomed once a week. Also, since Yorkies are prone to dental problems, you should brush your dog's teeth several times a week.
If you want a pocket sized dog with plenty of spunk, then a Yorkie may be the perfect breed for you.

Has anyone heard of having a pericardectomy that was due to an injury?
My answer would be YES. Through my rough and tumble life as a young kid i took quite a few major hits to the chest, starting with a 20 ft fall out of a barn, landed flat on my chest, yes its true i landed on bales of hay, but it hurt like heck! Then at 14 i was hit by a car , while on a bicycle, going to my paper route, result, 4 cracked ribs, punctured lung, spleen torn if half and a broken nose, major trauma to my left chest area. Two years later i had pericarditus. they ran a catheter in my right arm to draw the fluid out of my pericardial sac, they said it was all taken care of and i should have NO more problems. Well, at 51 I had constrictive pericarditus, so they removed the pericardium do to the build up of hard calcium, I'm just over 2 years past that point now and have had chest pains (still) for over a year, I can tell I still have a problem, my doctors are working on it. I have an Echo and a Tread Mill/EKG too set for next month, Jan 2010. YES, I think Trauma to the chest can cause serious problems, I got them! I Hope my answer Good enough to answer your question. Mike at 53yrs :)
Did the USS Nautilus have any problems?
A good friend served aboard the Nautilus in the late '60's. He said there was a minor incident where the sub crashed into some underwater ice and her hull was slightly bent. This caused her to drift left if the rudders were trimmed at their normal attitude. The trick was to see how many times the Nautilus could make a circle during his watch while the "old man" (the captain) was asleep.
Personally, I really don't believe this story. A captain of any ship would have some navigational skills and should know about how far the sub should have gone while he was alseep. But it makes for an interesting story.

The six-bird version has a quail inside a partridge, inside a pheasant, inside a chicken, inside a duck, inside a goose.

One butcher who specializes in making Yorkshire pot is Mr Derek Fox, of Malton, Yorkshire.
This information comes from an article by chef James Martin in The Independent newspaper, on Saturday 1st December 2007, and a TV program that was broadcast on 10th December, in which James Martin showed the dish being prepared.
