Scottish Terrier
Thinking Of Investing In A Yorkie?
Coming from Yorkshire, Great Britain the Yorkshire Terrier is a popular dog in the ‘toy dog’ class. Standing only six to seven inches high, the terrier weighs in at around seven pounds and has a life-span of between twelve and 15 years.
Created by the working man in the 19th century to trap rodents including mice and rats the Yorkshire Terrier is believed to have ascended from Scotland and is also genetically connected to other breeds including the Skye Terrier, Manchester Terrier and Scottish Terrier although not the dogs that we see today. Over the years the breed has been miniaturized and is a now a popular choice for a ladies companion as they fit nicely into a bag.
The Yorkshire Terriers fur is moderately long glossy, fine and silky in texture and several owners part the hair on their head to allow them to see and eat properly. Born with black and tan coats which changes as they age to steal blue and tan, in some countries, where it is permitted, their tails are docked to medium length.
When choosing a Yorkshire Terrier, buyers should be aware potentially they are vunerable to a number of disorders. These include Hypolglycemia, Patellar Luxation, Tracheal Collapse, Porto-Systemic Shunt and Retinal Dysphasia.
Common amongst small breed puppies, Hypoglycaemia is usually misdiagnosed and even though it is easily treated if left untreated it may be fatal.
Although not life-threatening, Patellar Luxation is a problem caused by the knee cap slipping out of its groove and can cause moderate pain if left untreated.
An inherited disorder is Tracheal Collapse which is the narrowing of the inner diameter of the trachea. Being overweight and age may also bring on this condition.
Porto-Systemic Shunt is an abnormal blood circulation to the liver and is one of the most feared disorders by all Yorkie owners.~is usually present at birth and is an irregular development in the retina. Although commonly inherited, it is also acquired from the result of an infection.
Over-all although Yorkies may suffer from several disorders they can lead long and healthy lives and can be excellent pets and companions for their owners.
