Yorkshire Terrier, York. About the breed.
York, Yorkshire Terrier or Yorkshire Terrier is a small, decorative, long-haired companion dog, which according to the FCI classification belongs to the group of terriers, section of Toy Terriers (2011).
The breed was developed in Yorkshire, England, in the late 19th century. Dimensions.
According to the standard, Yorkie males should reach no more than 23 cm at the withers, and females should be even smaller - up to 20 cm, and weigh, respectively, up to 3.1 and 2.7 kg. Smaller dogs are referred to as mini-Yorks.
Constitution.
The body is strong, compact, balanced. The tail is docked or not, but both are richly decorated with hair. The ears are V-shaped, with sharp tips, and stand straight. The eyes are dark, looking straight ahead, the rim of the eyelids is dark. The claws are black. Scissor bite, teeth straight.
Psyche, character.
York, despite his size, is a smart, active, balanced, courageous and devoted dog, unless, of course, we spoiled him with our upbringing, or some life circumstances did not leave imprints on his gentle psyche.
Wool.
This is the pride of all Yorkies! According to standards, a dog's coat should be long, flowing, especially on the head and muzzle, completely straight, thin, silky and shiny, and have no undercoat. The parting goes from the nose along the back to the tail. It resembles human hair - it constantly grows and does not shed.
The coat color, again according to the standard, is a rich golden-red-brown color on the head, up to the occipital protuberance, on the chest, paws, and along the body - dark steel color to the base of the tail.
Breed standards are of course important, no one argues, especially for show or breed-class dogs that show off at shows to participate in breeding. Their fur is strictly monitored, protected, not cut, but carefully wrapped in curlers so that it does not get damaged.
But we will not love our pet less if the color or structure of its coat is somewhat out of the standard. They are undoubtedly Yorkies, only the pet class - pets, i.e. especially favorite)
Yorkies are one of the most common dog breeds in Russia and Moscow, in particular.
Currently, there are varieties of Yorkshire terriers (photo at the top of the page) differing in coat color and size, for example, mini Yorkie (dog weight less than 2 kg), Biewer Yorkie (3-color Yorkies), St. Petersburg Orchid is also very similar to the Yorkshire terrier and size and type of coat, however, the hairstyle of these dogs is strictly individual - something between a spaniel's hairstyle and an Asian haircut style. We also have a Russian salon dog or “Rusalka” with a red coat color. There are two-color Yorkies and golden and brown (chocolate) colors.
Where can I get my Yorkie cut in a salon or at home?
You can ask the salon for help. Of course, your pet will be given a good haircut there, but you need to pay attention to the fact that Yorkies are nimble and nervous animals.

The classic haircut is intended for show dogs. The animal's coat should be long and shiny. With the apparent ease of such a haircut, you can’t do without a hairdresser. It is quite difficult to trim growing fur beautifully. One wrong move with the scissors and the hairstyle will be ruined. Other haircuts for your beloved dog can be of any type and color.

Hairstyles come out in a variety of different ways.

Haircut scheme
The appropriate haircut for Yorkies often depends on the size of the dog and the owner's preferences.
Yorkie classification by weight:
• standard – from 2kg to 3kg; • super-mini – up to 2 kg; • mini – 1.5 kg.
Large dogs are usually given a classic haircut, although this is not necessary. Owners usually cut their dogs this way because they take them to shows. Smaller dogs, which can be seen in the arms of very famous or simply famous people, can be seen with the most unusual types of haircuts. They are typical for both Yorkies and other breeds, for example: Chinese Crested or Spitz. Dogs can have the most fantastic appearance, and at the same time look healthy and happy, being next to their owner. The smaller the animal, the less fur is usually left behind.
How to trim an aggressive dog's hair at home?
There are several tips that will help you trim a dog, even of an aggressive nature, without loss or problems. Under no circumstances should you do this by force or force the dog. What can be done? You need to try to calmly explain that he needs a haircut.
How to trim an aggressive dog's hair at home:
- As soon as the dog begins to growl or get angry when tools or clippers touch him, you need to lightly press on the withers and, as it were, press him to the bottom, continue cutting.
- This way, the dog will understand that you are in charge here. Under no circumstances should you finish the haircut on the dog’s initiative, so the dog will understand that dissatisfaction, grinning or aggression towards the owner will not stop the owner’s work. Accordingly, the leader in this process is the owner and only when he wants will the haircut be completed. Very aggressive dogs are muzzled during grooming.
- If the dog resists strongly, ask one of your close relatives to help you. Under no circumstances should this be a stranger, but an exclusively well-known person for the dog.
