Yorkshire terriers are the most popular among small breeds. They are cute, obedient enough and can live in the smallest apartment. Good for children, friendly with strangers. And they go to the toilet in the cradle, you don’t even need to walk.
Advantages of the breed can be praised for a long time. We talked about black York. So back to him. Are there black Yorkshire terriers? And how did they appear?
Is it york?
There are two different breeds: the Yorkshire Terrier and the Beaver Terrier. They are very similar to each other.
The Yorkshire Black Terrier is a biver. And now - attention! A beaver is a marriage, by and large. Although it is York.
How is marriage?
Do not be alarmed by the word. The fact is that now in the cynological world everything has turned upside down. What used to be considered marriage is now being affirmed. Marriage becomes the standard, they give him a description and register with FCI. The black Yorkshire Terrier was no exception. It was called the "biver", and in 2007 the breed standard was approved.
This means that now with such a dog you can go to exhibitions. And get puppies from her. All for the sake of business, let's say in plain text. Selling puppies is a great business. The more fashionable the dog, the more expensive it is. So breeders of all breeds are chasing fashion.
Let's move on to the history of the emergence of Beaver York.
How did it all start?
As often happens: there were breeders. Bred ordinary Yorkshire terriers. And then a strange litter was born. Differs from parents in color. Black and white puppies were born 30 years ago with breeders from the UK. The bitch gave birth to puppies of a strange color. More precisely, they were originally normal. And when they molted, then everything turned out.
What do breeders do? Normally, such puppies are married and must be destroyed. The English couple decided otherwise. Puppies quickly found owners. And the breeders left a dog and a bitch for themselves. When they grew up, they were tied together. From such a closely related inbreeding, Beaver Yorks went.
How are they different from ordinary Yorks?
The Yorkshire Terrier in black differs from the standard in appearance. Recall that a beaver is a consequence of a genetic mutation. She played a cruel joke on the color of dogs. Initially thirty years ago, beaver yorks were black and white. Perhaps due to close inbreeding, the color went even further. Golden, white and black dogs began to turn out.
We turn to the description of the breed of the Yorkshire Terrier of black color.
The growth of the dog reaches 22 centimeters. Weight ranges from 2 to 3 kilograms.
Animals have a long, dense coat.
The muzzle is narrow, the eyes are deep set, dark brown.
The nose is black.
Lips are dry, tightly compressed.
The jaw is weak.
The body is straight.
Paws are medium, straight.
The tail is medium length.
The breed standard is not very different from the description of an ordinary Yorkshire terrier.
Character
Black Yorkshire Terrier has a special disposition. At first glance, this dog may seem like a toy. Whatever the case: Yorkies, despite their size, are very interesting creations.
A stubborn, loyal and intelligent dog - this is how their owners characterize “biveres”. Pets are well trained. Just before that, you will have to try to win their trust.
Friendly to people. But familiarity is not tolerated. They can be put in place, using their teeth. It comes to the last very rarely. It is necessary to get the dog out of herself to such an extent that she begins to resist.
They have a clear voice. Many beaver terriers and classic Yorkies react nervously to the smallest rustle from the outside. That is, if noise is heard on the landing, they are flooded with voiced barking.
With other animals get along well. Patiently treat children if they are not too imposed on the pet. They will not tolerate detailed research on their part. First they will warn with a growl, and then they will bite. Therefore, having a Yorkshire Terrier is not recommended for people with very young children.
Maintenance and care
Before moving on to this question, let's talk about the Mini Yorkshire Terrier (black). Keep in mind, such a color among the "minicar" does not exist. The only thing that distinguishes them from ordinary representatives of the breed is its size. In addition, mini-Yorks are not declared as a separate breed.
Let's get back to the content. What is required for our black yorik?
Combing. It should be regular, the coat of the pet is long. She needs special care. Ideally, the black Yorkshire Terrier is combed daily.
Checking teeth, ears and eyes. The ears are wiped with a cotton pad dipped in a special lotion to clean them. If this is not, you can use a solution of chamomile. Or ordinary warm water. Daily ear cleaning is not required. It is carried out only if the pet has severe pollution.
The eyes are wiped daily. Remove various secretions.
On the teeth should not be plaque and stone. This can be prevented by cleaning them. Yorke brush their teeth regularly with a special paste designed for dogs. As a preventive measure, they give a stone against tartar. Apples serve as an assistant for brushing your teeth. Give your pet these fruits at least once a week.
Does the black Yorkshire Terrier need a swim? The question is controversial. After walking in dirty weather, he needs to wash his paws and stomach. Do not just bathe, refrain from this procedure unnecessarily. And one more thing: in cold weather they don’t wash the doggie. He is prone to colds.
In winter, pets walk in clothes. A special jumpsuit will reliably protect it from the cold.
They feed an adult dog twice a day - in the morning and in the evening. A good, high-quality feed is used as the main diet. These can be super-premium brands or holistic.
Diseases
Black Yorkshire Terrier (photo in the article) - a painful dog. And not only he, any York is prone to disease.
In the first place colds. Very susceptible to cold. If the dog blows, the owner should prepare for the consequences. The minimum is coughing, the maximum is inflammation of the middle ear.
Retinal detachment is one of the most common eye diseases in York. This also includes its improper development or dysplasia.
Two rows of teeth. This happens not only in people. Little Yorkshire terriers often flaunt with milk and permanent teeth. If this happens, you will have to consult a veterinarian. Surgery will be required.
Dislocation of the patella. This is a classic, because the skeleton of York is too fragile. Their musculoskeletal system is susceptible to all kinds of damage.
Separation of the femoral head.
Yorkies are very prone to fractures.
Tracheal collapse. Perhaps the worst disease of all of these. Unfortunately, all small breeds are subject to it. Cartilaginous half rings of the pharynx are too poorly developed. As a result - a sharp spasm of the pharynx. The animal cannot breathe or exhale.
These are external diseases. And there is also an internal kit, of which the most harmless are problems with the gastrointestinal tract.
Interesting to know
Do you know that Yorkshire Terrier puppies are born completely black? And it's not about the biver, but about the standard York. Small golden marks are acceptable, nothing more.
With age, the color of the dog changes. There comes, let’s say, a molt, during which the kids "update" their baby color. Shedding can begin at the age of 6 weeks. Or maybe at the age of six months.
It also happens that the puppy does not molt. Remains dark or black. Among standard Yorkies, such a representative of the breed is considered defective. He does not participate in exhibitions. Nobody will allow such a dog to breed.
Therefore, if you find in the bowels of the Internet an advertisement for the sale of a standard black Yorkshire terrier, this is a hoax. Unscrupulous people want easy money. So they are looking for naive people who are new to the breed standard of Yorkshire terriers and their colors.
