Chapter 1: Ancestral genetics (3 pages)
General Breed Description:
The Yorkshire Terrier, also known as the Yorkie, is a small breed of dog that is generally classified as a toy
breed by most kennel clubs. With erect ears and a medium length muzzle, the Yorkie’s most distinguishing feature is their coat which is long, straight and silky in appearance…
History:
The Yorkshire Terrier has its origins in the Yorkshire and Lancashire where it is reported that Scottish
workers came to work in textile mills. They brought with them a number of small terrier breeds called
“Scotch Terriers”. These dogs were useful for hunting the numerous rats that plagued the mills and the
workers’ houses as well as being good companions…
Breed Temperament and Behaviour:
The Yorkshire Terrier is regarded as having a lot of typical terrier traits, meaning they are brave, adventurous, energetic and loyal. They Yorkie carries itself very upright and appears very self assured. They do not
generally show the quiet, gentle temperament of a lap dog…
Requirements/Needs:

Chapter 2: Genetic Disease (7 pages)
This section contains a detailed description of the 10 most significant diseases particularly common to the
Yorkshire Terrier. Information includes screening for, diagnosis and treatment of these conditions.
Luxating patella
Luxating patella refers to a kneecap that can dislocate in and out of the groove that it normally sits in. Medial luxation (dislocation inwards, or towards the other hind leg) is considered heritable, and is usually seen
in relatively young dogs. It occurs more commonly in small breeds of dogs, including the Yorkie…
Congenital Portosystemic Shunts
This is a condition where the blood vessels that run from the gastrointestinal tract (intestine) to the liver
have developed abnormally, and the liver is bypassed to a varying degree. Blood from the gut runs directly
into the central circulation that flows to the heart, and this bypasses the detoxifying effect that the liver
normally carries out.
Chapter 3: Caring for your puppy (3 pages)
This chapter provides you with a lifetime personalised wellness program for your Yorkshire Terrier with a
recommended vet visit schedule by age. Your vet can work through this schedule with you to create the
most appropriate preventative and protective approach specifically for your Yorkshire Terrier…
Chapter 4: Behaviour and training (4 pages)
Dogs are very social animals, and your Yorkshire Terrier puppy needs to be indoors with the family from the
start. There is no such thing as a “good outdoor dog”. Yorkshire Terrier puppies need to learn how to behave
around different animals and people from a young age. This is called socialisation, and it is essential to prevent your puppy growing up to have problems with nervousness and aggression…
Chapter 5: Games (8 pages)
Just like us, puppies and dogs will get bored doing the same thing every day. You will soon learn that there
are certain types of games that your dog enjoys more than others – for example, terriers often love to dig,
while collies and working dogs will run all day…
Chapter 6: Nutrition (11 pages)
Good nutrition is essential for your dog to have a healthy, happy life. It is critical that your Yorkshire Terrier
receives the correct amounts of energy, protein, fatty acids, carbohydrates and trace minerals and nutrients for growth as well as maintenance of a healthy body and brain. Nutrition is also vital to a dog’s ability
to think clearly, as thinking requires mental energy and the correct amino acid balance for the maintenance
of normal brain chemistry...
Chapter 7: Dental health (1 page)
You may have heard some advice about keeping your dog’s teeth clean. Many people have many different
opinions on this topic. The best way to care for your Yorkshire Terrier’s teeth and oral health is to manually
clean his teeth. This is not as weird as it sounds, and if you start when your puppy is young, is generally not
hard to do...
