Yorkshire Terriers - What To Do If Your Yorkie Is Barking Too Much, by Connie Ragen Green Platinum Quality Author

When your Yorkshire terrier will not stop barking you may be looking for reasons why this behavior is occurring. Although smaller dogs seem to bark more than large ones, this varies from breed to breed. Here are some reasons why your Yorkie may be barking so much and what you can do to change this unwanted behavior:

· Make sure that your Yorkshire terrier has enough food to eat. Sometimes yorkies will pick at their food instead of eating it all at one time. If you take the food dish away they may become malnourished because they are just not getting enough nutrition. Try leaving the food dish down for a longer time each day, or adding some warm water to the food to make it more desirable and tasty.

· Make sure there are no loud noises or other distractions that can be upsetting to your Yorkie. Remember that dogs have an acute sense of hearing and will be disturbed by sounds that we would normally not think anything of.

· Your Yorkshire terrier could be lonely. Dogs are social creatures and need to have some companionship. If you are away from home for long periods of time, your Yorkie will become lonely during your absence. Getting another dog is one answer, but your dog probably just wants to spend more time with you.

· You may just have a barker on your hands. Some dogs are more predisposed to barking than others. If this is the case, spend time training your Yorkshire terrier to be quiet when you give the command.

Learning how to train your Yorkshire terrier will result in both of you being happier for years to come.

What You Need To Know About Yorkshire Terrier Breeders, by Susan Bailey

Pet stores used to make their money by hoping that you are an impulse shopper. That was why there were puppies in the shop window - to break your heart and open your wallet before you realized what you were doing. Thankfully, this trend is changing, but not fast enough. There are still pet stores unscrupulous enough to sell puppies to impulse buyers, especially Yorkshire Terrier puppies. No reputable Yorkshire Terrier breeder will send their puppies to a pet store!

If you don't know any basic Yorkshire Terrier information, then that would be like moving to a country where you don't speak the language or know any of the customs. After the cute stage wears off, the Yorkshire Terrier puppy often turns out to be a lot more work and a lot more money than the impulse shopper bargained for. The puppy then gets sent to an animal shelter, where he has a fifty percent chance of being euthanized.

You get many advantages by getting your Yorkie puppy from a Yorkshire Terrier breeder. You get a contract, usually with a limited health guarantee for the puppy. You get to see what conditions the puppy will grow up in. You get to see the puppy's mother, which will have a lasting impact on the puppy's temperament. You also get reassurance that your puppy is a purebred Yorkshire Terrier, so you know you are getting your money's worth.

Don't just go to the first Yorkshire Terrier breeder you happen to come across. Since the Yorkshire Terrier breeder will have a profound impact on the health and training of your puppy, you want to choose the breeder as carefully as the puppy. You can find licensed Yorkshire Terrier breeders from your vet, from dog magazines, from going to dog shows and from the Internet. You can also ask the American Kennel Club for any help.

You also are free to ask a lot of questions to a good Yorkshire Terrier breeder that you just can't ask a pet store clerk. You get access to years of experience living and training all kinds of Yorkies. A good Yorkshire Terrier breeder will be a bit possessive about their puppies. The money is not that important to them (although they will expect you to pay when promised). They want to be sure their "babies" will not end up abandoned or abused. And, unlike pet store puppies, you usually get to see the parents and the parent's health certificates.

Take your time finding the right Yorkshire Terrier breeder that you can get along with and has the dogs you can get along with. You can find them from the American Kennel Club, from the Yorkshire Terrier Club of America, any proud Yorkie owners where you live, your vet or your local animal shelter. You can also look on the Internet for Yorkshire Terrier rescue groups which will have older puppies as well as adults.

House Training A Yorkshire Terrier

Bow-Wow and Worship Toy Yorkshire Terriers, by Susan Bailey

It is very difficult for the Yorkie novice to discover that there are no different Yorkshire Terrier types. A Yorkie is a Yorkie is a Yorkie. This is according to the breed societies and national showing bodies like the American Kennel Club (AKC) or United Kennel Club (UKC). However, if you look into any advertising for Yorkshire Terrier puppies, you will find lots of breeders insisting that there are such things as Teacup Yorkies, Standard Yorkies and Toy Yorkshire Terriers.

If you are looking for a Yorkshire Terrier, be very clear what the individual breeder considers a Toy Yorkshire Terrier. Most will call any Yorkshire Terrier a Toy Yorkshire Terrier. The Yorkshire Terrier is in the Toy group of dogs for showing purposes after all. But there are some breeders who will insist that Toy Yorkshire Terriers are of a certain weight - four to six pounds. The average weight for a show quality Yorkshire Terrier is seven pounds.

The term "Toy Yorkshire Terrier" has come up as a marketing gimmick, and not much else. This term implies that their Yorkies are smaller than the average. Consider that Yorkshire Terriers are small dogs to begin with - but apparently, that's not small enough for some people. They will try to breed incredibly tiny dogs for the "cute" factor. Logic goes right out of the window whenever money is involved. Any Yorkshire Terrier under five pounds in adult weight will be sickly, have an incredibly fragile skeleton and will have to go to the vet a lot.

However, even puppies advertised as Toy Yorkshire Terriers or even Teacup Yorkshire Terriers (which come to an adult weight of two to four pounds) can suddenly grow up into hefty ten pounders. They are still purebred Yorkshire Terriers, but they just grown up bigger than expected. This happens in any breed of dog - and even in people, too.

There really aren't any laws tough enough to stop breeding incredibly tiny, sickly Toy Yorkshire Terriers. Since there is a demand, there logically must be a supply. The best way you can help the dogs is not to buy such a puppy and discourage these irresponsible breeding practices. The best place you can go for a Yorkie and for accurate Yorkshire Terrier information is from a Yorkshire Terrier rescue.

Because there are no requirements for buying a dog, many people buy a dog that he shouldn't. Then, those dogs wind up in shelters. Because of the particular needs of Yorkies, many Yorkshire Terrier rescues have sprouted up all over the country. They know how domineering, needy and yet how loyal these dogs are. They take the time to get to know each dog and help match one to your personality. Never buy a Toy Yorkshire Terrier puppy - adopt from an animal rescue, instead.
