Appearance of the Yorkillon
|
| This little dog has the spirit and attitude of a champion, as well as the silky coat and delicate paws to match. Its long hair can come in a variety of colors, from black to fawn to sable, so it's not uncommon to have a litter containing a diversity of coat colors and patterns. The Yorkillon's small head is almost identical to that of the Yorkshire Terrier, although the hair around its face is slightly longer. His ears point straight up when he stands at attention, and his small dark eyes are hidden by a pair of rather broad eyebrows. His tail can be straight or slightly curled at the tip, which only adds to the charm of this already adorable little dog. |
Temperament of the Yorkillon
|
| No dog proves to be man's best friend like the Yorkillon, indeed, it is man's best friend and most fashionable companion. The Yorkillon is famous for its beauty as well as its people skills. He's always loyal to his humans, whether you're a single person or a family with children. Its kindness also extends to other pets. Charismatic and sociable, she gets along with everyone. Young or old, this cheerful little dog will love spending time with you. He's very demanding when it comes to attention, so if you don't have a lot of time to devote to him, the Yorkillon may not be the best choice for you. He can be quite stubborn, but he's easy to train thanks to his love of praise and desire to please you. Try not to raise your voice or scold him, as this can make him very nervous; instead, try to reward him for good behavior. |
Needs and activities of the Yorkillon
|
| Yorkillons can be playful and energetic or calm and relaxed, depending on their mood. Because of its versatile nature, it's perfect for any environment. Whether it's an apartment, condo or house, the Yorkillon will thrive as long as it's with you. As an indoor dog, it should never be left outside for too long, especially in extremely hot or cold weather. If the weather is severe, only let your pretty pooch go outside under strict supervision, and make sure he always has access to plenty of water to stay hydrated, and a warm place to lie down when he comes indoors. He'll love a good walk to meet and greet the neighbors - he'll never turn down the opportunity. |
Maintenance of the Yorkillon
|
| The Yorkillon can be pretty demanding when it comes to your attention, but when it comes to caring for him, he's not all that high-maintenance. He's not hypoallergenic and, due to seasonal moulting, will need brushing at least once a day to keep his long coat healthy, shiny and tangle-free. A pin brush is all you'll need to keep his fur smooth and pretty. Bathe and shampoo your Yorkie once a month, or as needed, but remember that over-washing your dog can remove essential oils and leave his skin dry and irritated. Check your Yorkie's ears at least once a week to make sure they're not infected or overgrown. Due to the length and abundance of his fur, it's common for yeast to accumulate in the ear canal, causing irritation and infection. If you notice any unusual redness, or if your dog scratches his head or ears profusely, consult a vet immediately. |
