The Yorkshire Terrier, also known as a Yorkie,
is a good natured, adorable breed of small dog.
Yorkshire Terriers can be very small indeed, usually
not weighing more than about 5 or 6 pounds (less than
3kg.) A Yorkie can easily be carried in a large coat
pocket or a small bag.
Their coats are typically black or grey on the body,
with more brown and gold on the faces and legs, but
this can vary. The fur in a show dog is usually straight
and can grow very long. Yorkies can also have somewhat
wavy fur, although clubs do not recognize this variation.
In either case, Yorkie fur is soft, fine, and high-maintenance,
and must either be trimmed short or washed and brushed
frequently.
