Yorkie Care

Welcome to Yorkie Care .com!  I hope you find this blog very useful as we discover together the best ways for caring for Yorkies.  Yorkies are on of America’s most popular dog breeds.  In fact, according to the American Kennel Club (AKC) Yorkies (Yorkshire Terriers) are the number two most popular dog breed.  This is only second to the laborador retriever.

Yorshires have an interesting history.  They originally came from Yorkshire England.  One of the breeds that helped to form what we know as the Yorshire Terrier is the Scottish Terrier, but I will get into that in another post.

Yorkie care encompasses a large range of yorkies.  Caring for young puppies, to caring for aging arthritic yorkies as well.  I hope over the next few months to give you lots of great health advice from my years of dealing with yorkies.

I will also post some pictures of my yorkies as soon as I can figure out the digital camera!  Anyways, thanks for reading my first post.  If you have any comments about what you would like to see in future posts please let me know.  Right now my plan is to just right some articles and post tips about what I think you should be doing to give the best yorkie care.

I have owned 6 yorkies over the years and have learned a lot from each one.  Veterinarians have come and gone over the years, and they are not always consistent which is why I think every yorkie owner should know the basics of dog care.

There are many simple things you can do to help your dog live a longer more fulfilling life.  One of those actually taking your dog to the veterinarin’s on a regular basis.  I know that most of the time your yorkie is very healthy so you don’t see the point in having to lug your dog to the vet’s, but they will often catch things you may not have noticed.

It is easy to miss problems when you see your yorkie everyday, over time small gradual changes are not seen, like weight gain, or teech problems.

Anyways, I’ll talk to you soon about more yorkie care!
