Care tips for your Yorkshire Terrier
Yorkies and toy dogs in general have a tendency to retain their puppy teeth, especially the canines. At around 5 months of age you should start to watch the teeth closely, a perfect bite may go off in a matter of days. You may feel it's not important for a correct scissors bite, but this is the first step of the digestion process, proper chewing is important. The other importance is that the proper bite stays cleaner, over lapping misaligned teeth are a good source for bacteria and tartar to build rapidly.
Grooming is definitely part of responsible ownership and general care. Yorkies do need to be groomed on a regular schedule. If your not able to provide this by yourself or by a professional, you may want to consider another breed.
Wash mucus from the corners of the dog's eyes, daily if needed, with a cloth or wad of cotton soaked in warm water. Mucus will rot your pet's hair if it's not removed. Dry him off carefully.
Take special care to keep the hair around the Yorkie's anus clean. It is common for this hair to become matted with feces.
Get a little dog coat for the Yorkie for cold weather. Yorkies do not have an undercoat to keep them warm. A store-bought coat will keep your pet warm and cozy.
Do not use a nylon brush, which will break the dog's hair. Use a soft comb with small teeth at one end and large teeth at the other end. Use the small end for whiskers and brushing around the eyes. Use blunt-nosed scissors for trimming hair on your dog's
ears and feet.
