Description:

Jelanie, Mia and Toby and  were owner surrendered to Judy.  Their owner could no longer afford to care for them and the pups' mom & dad.   So all 3 siblings were given to us and are ready to be adopted!  Their surrendering family said the pups are house-trained and are affectionate with people.  Children over the age of 10 are suggested as these babies are so tiny and can be easily dropped, stepped on, or jump out of arms. They love their toys, especially water bottles and soft toys.  They do not like cats.

1/7  Foster update: The pups do not get along well with each other and should be adopted separately.  Interacting them with the other smaller and larger dogs in the home has resulted in the Yorkies nipping and aggressively attacking the other dogs.  When interacted with other dogs outside the home, they continue to be the aggressors and try to bite other dogs.  Based on their behaviors in our home, we are suggesting they are adopted as the only dogs in the home. We are unsure whether they were never socialized (with each other or another dog), but the puppies do not interact well with other canines. New owners need socialize these tiny pups as they seem to have 'little dog syndrome,' and don't seem to have been taught pack order and training they needed at a younger age. An adult home with alpha owners is best for these puppies.  Jelanie loves to sleep on pillows, and she is quiet, calm, and mild mannered. She can be mouthy with strangers.

According to www.dogbreedinfo.com, the breed is only 100 years old or so, but its origins are not entirely certain - probably because the working men of north England, who developed the Yorkshire Terrier for catching the terrible rats that infested the mine shafts and as a hunting dog that could penetrate into badger and fox burrows, avoided divulging the secret of their success to those who might have cashed in on a lucrative side line. However, it seems likely that Scotsmen seeking work in the woolen mills of Yorkshire brought with them various types of terrier, including the Skye and the now extinct Clydesdale. These were then crossed with local types, such as the long- haired Leeds Terrier. The Maltese, Black & Tan Manchester, and Dandie Dinmont Terriers may also have contributed blood lines. At first, the Yorkie was a much bigger animal than the one we see today, but by selectively breeding the smallest individuals, the dog was gradually miniaturized over the years. They were made into a fashion dog. Women carried these little dogs in their bags and under their arms. The first Yorkshire, with the characteristics demanded by its standard today, appeared in a dog show in 1870. The Yorkshire Terrier seems oblivious of its small size. It is ever eager for adventure and trouble. This little dog is highly energetic, brave, loyal and clever. Affectionate with its master, but sometimes suspicious of strangers. It can be aggressive to strange dogs and small animals. In other words, it has true Terrier heritage. They do best with older, considerate children. Yorkies are easy to train, although they can sometimes be stubborn. The breed is demanding and dependant and needs a lot of human attention. The Yorkie is an excellent watchdog, defending its territory in no uncertain manner. They can get snappish if surprised, frightened or over-teased, but are usually very sweet and loving. They can be difficult to housebreak. These little dogs should not be over-protected, for they may become neurotic. The Yorkie likes to bark, but it can easily be taught not to do so. They have a life expectancy of 12-15 years.
