Having decided to get a Yorkshire terrier breed dog, the future owners face the question - to get a york fully meeting the breed standards or give preference to miniature representatives of the breed - mini-yorkies? Miniature Yorkies (super-mini), as the name implies, differ from the established breed standard by significantly smaller sizes. Baby weight does not exceed 1.3 - 2 kg. Recall the weight of the "standard" York - from 1.8 to 3.2 kg. It is the weight that is the main criterion determining the species (subtypes) of this breed. According to this parameter, mini-subtype dogs are classified into super-mini with miniature, tiny sizes (weight up to 1.3 kg) and mini-yorkies with a weight from 1.3-1.5 to 2 kg. At the same time, miniature Yorkshire terriers along with their fellow standard sizes have the right to take part in exhibitions and various competitions. Given the growing interest in this species of popular breed, in this section we will look at the advantages and disadvantages of mini-Yorkies.
The most striking advantage and difference between miniature Yorkies and representatives of the breed standard is the more calm, balanced, absolutely not “terrier” character of miniature dogs. Mini-yorkies have a very gentle disposition, good-natured temperament, get along well with other pets and their relatives. They have not so developed hunting instincts, as representatives of the standard, so mini-yorkies will not bark at trifles, having heard sounds outside the door, pestering large dogs in the street or chasing a cat around the house. They are very attached to all members of their family, they will become an excellent companion and companion for the elderly, who prefer active communication with their pets to active walks.
It is known that the Yorkers require greater attention, trying to always be visible. Mini-yorkies are less intrusive and emotional. By virtue of their calm disposition, they will not bother imposing their company on the owner. Due to the miniature size, dogs can be taken on a journey, observing the rules of transporting dogs, visiting public places, if it is not prohibited by the established rules.
Mini-yorkies are very clean, they are much easier and faster to accustom to the tray than midi-or standard Yorkshire terriers. The coat of the miniature dogs is not so long and thick, so the care of the coat is much easier. Do not have a seasonal molt. The modest size allows you to keep the dog even small-sized apartments. Mini-yorkies have high intelligence, are smart, respond well to training and education.
Like most breeding breeds, mini-yorkies cannot boast of excellent health. Among the representatives of this species are often dogs with congenital malformations, health problems that can occur at any age. Most often in puppies of miniature varieties, hypoglycemia is noted. This does not mean at all that it is impossible to acquire a completely healthy pet. You can find a completely healthy mini-york in specialized nurseries, with proven breeders who breed, pay great attention to the selection of this breed. It is best to pick up babies from breeders at the age of two to three months. Mini-yorkies, unlike the standard ones, close their “spring” much later, which poses a great danger to tiny creatures.
The second problem is related to the miniature size of dogs. Mini-yorki require a delicate, careful attitude, are more susceptible to various types of injuries. It is not necessary to start miniature pets in a house where there are already big dogs or little children who, in the process of playing games, can accidentally injure their pet. Even a soft toy can be a source of danger for a tiny pet, and this is not to mention jumping or falling from a small height or the violent manifestations of love of young owners. In this case, it is better to give preference to standard Yorkshire terriers. Special attention should be shown on walks, not letting the baby out of its field of view - dogs of large and even medium size can harm a tiny terrier.
Mini-yorkie badly tolerate loneliness, a long separation from the owner. they feel more comfortable and safe sitting on the lap or the hands of their owner. Leaving for a long time alone your pet can cause him psychological trauma.
Despite the gentle, calmer temperament, mini Yorkshire terriers can be capricious and stubborn. Mini-yorkies eat little, but can be picky in feed, so from an early age you need to find the perfect diet for all parameters, strictly adhere to the mode and daily routine. In no case can not overfeed pet, give delicacies from your table. Even the smallest piece of the forbidden "snacks" can lead to disruption of the digestive processes, and later become a cause of disruptions in the endocrine system.
Mini yorkies are not suitable for breeding. Due to their tiny size, pregnancy and childbirth are a big burden for the body of a tiny dog, which can be fatal. Therefore, if you plan to breed a breed, give preference to Yorkshire terriers of standard sizes.
The last drawback is the high cost of puppies miniature Yorkshire terriers. If you are offered to buy a puppy at the cost of standard Yorkshire terriers, you can be sure - in front of you either a problem puppy or a representative of the subtype standard.

When did it all start?
At the beginning of the XVIII century in the English city of Yorkshire a new breed appeared - the Yorkshire Terrier. Its first representatives were hunting dogs in the homes of ordinary workers and peasants and were bred for the destruction of rats and burrow hunting for small game. At the weaving mills, the first Yorks were instead of cats - they hunted and destroyed rodents.
From whom did they come?
There is no exact documentary information about the representatives of which specific breeds of British terriers made their genetic contribution to the emergence of the Yorkshire mini dog. Scientists have only been able to establish that the ancestors of York were the vanished rocks of paisley, cladesdale and black and tan toy terrier. The excellent long hair was inherited from the Maltese lap-dog, and the unusually beautiful blue-steel color from the sky terrier. Looking through the canvases of painters of the end of the XVIII - beginning of the XIX century, one can see that the exterior of the Yorkies of that time quite resembles the appearance of the modern representatives of this breed familiar to us.
Official recognition
As mentioned above, the first breeders of York were simple workers who worked in woolen and weaving manufactories. In the future, the aristocracy turned its attention to the smart, sweet and brave miniature dogs. In the era of the reign of Queen Victoria, going to the promenade or to the world without a Yorkshire terrier was considered a bad form.
The British Kennel Club officially recognized the Yorkshire Terrier breed in 1874, registering in its pedigree book Albert, a dog owner Peter Eden from Manchester. Worldwide popularity and high demand came to Yorks only in the second half of the last century.
Mini Yorkies in Russia
The first Yorkshire mini terrier in Russia appeared in 1971 at the legendary star of the Soviet ballet, Olga Vasilyevna Lepeshinskaya, who received this dog as a gift from fans. Up until the 90s of the last century, isolated representatives of this breed appeared in different cities of our country, there were then only ten.
Only in 1991, animals of this breed from France, England and Spain were brought to Mytischi, and the first nursery was founded. Yorkshire mini terrier has become a popular miniature breed. The “Mini Shop” Babaeva and the “Moscow Talisman” Manina became the first Russian kennels of mini-Yorkies registered by the International Canine Federation (FCI).
Today, more than two hundred breeders, nurseries and clubs from various parts of Russia are registered at the Yorkshire Terrier National Club.
Types of Yorkies
The standard of the Yorkshire terrier breed does not imply a division by size, but in life it is customary to classify dogs into the following three sizes:
- Standard. Dogs weighing 2.5 to 3.2 kg, participating in breeding and exhibitions.
- Yorkshire mini terrier. The weight of animals is from 1.6 to 2.2, kg. Do not participate in exhibitions, only dogs are suitable for breeding. These are the pets of the whole family and excellent companions. Sick more often than representatives of the standard.
- Supermini, or micro. Dogs weighing no more than 1.5 kg. Yorkshire terrier super mini is not used in breeding and does not act at exhibitions. As a rule, dogs are prone to hypoglycemia and injury, as they cannot jump from a chair or sofa on their own. Their life expectancy is very short due to the peculiarities of metabolic processes and susceptibility to various canine diseases.
In addition, the Yorkshire terrier mini baby-face stands out as dog owners. These are puppies with big round eyes on short muzzles and "gnomes" - dwarf dogs with non-growing spring and large bulging eyes.

In adult dogs, tan marks are of an even reddish color, without any blotches of black or steel. Yorkshire mini terrier is also distinguished by the fact that, unlike most other breeds, it does not shed.
Representatives of this miniature breed look glamorous and cute, but at the same time they do not have the mind, cunning and courage. These are excellent companions who communicate with pleasure and are ready to adjust to virtually any circumstances, in order not to be alone. Very fond of attention to his person.
Yorkshire Terrier mini (standard) gets along well with both children and teenagers, and with the elderly. This is a real terrier who is not afraid to shout a dog ten times more than himself if he seems to have not very good intentions. Families with very young children should not start representatives of this breed, since the child does not always correlate his strength, and may simply not notice the dog on the couch and sit on it.

Puppy behavior
Watch the puppy. He must be active and strong, cheerful and mobile. This puppy has a brilliant iridescent pure wool. Wool should not be dandruff, peeling, dryness. If any, do not take such a puppy.
A healthy pet should move on straight limbs with round, gathered in a clump of legs. Movement free and coordinated. Lame or stiff movements indicate a progressive malformation of the joints.
Take a puppy if its fur is black with gold markings. Increased wooliness in a small puppy may be welcomed if it is completely silky. If the wool is wavy or curly, then in the future it will not become straight. Incomprehensible spots are not allowed, but a small white spot on the chest is possible, since it will disappear when molting.
Puppy health
Carefully inspect the puppy from all sides. The nose should be black, cold and wet. The mucous membrane of the gums should have a pink color, and if they are pale, this indicates anemia. On each jaw of a puppy there are 6 incisors and 2 canines. The bite should be scissor, in extreme cases - pincer. Other types of bite - undesirable.
At 2-3 month old puppy, which in the future claims to be victorious in exhibitions, the spring should be closed. Examine the temechko. In older puppies weighing up to 1.5 kg, the fontanel is open and has a size of 3 mm in diameter.
Unfortunately, such a puppy has no chance of winning exhibitions. If a puppy has a weak constitution and a large apple-shaped head, protruding eyes and an unfinished spring, then he suffers from nanism. Such dogs die from dropsy.
York's eyes should be dark, wet, look straight ahead. The smudges under the eyes speak of eyelid defects. Suppurations indicate the presence of infection in the body. Dark pupils, clear iris are evidence of the absence of inflammation and injury.
Ears in puppies of York by 2 months of age get up, but there are exceptions, if the puppy is from pedigreed parents. Consider the puppy's ears. On the edge of the ear should not be crusts or alopecia, they should be covered with wool. Visible areas of the ear must be clean. If the baby shakes his head, scratches his ear and an unpleasant smell comes out of it, indicating that an inflammatory process has begun in the ear.
The skin of the abdomen should be clean, healthy, free from blemishes or rashes. The abdomen should not be swollen, as this may indicate a disturbed digestion or helminthic invasion.
