Yorkies
 The Yorkshire
Terrier is a long-haired toy terrier whose blue and tan coat is
parted on the face and from the base of the skull to the end of the
tail and hangs evenly and quite straight down each side of the body.
The Yorkie is one of the world's smallest dogs and should not exceed 7
lbs in weight. Yorkshire Terriers may be tiny but they are a big-dog
in a little-dog package. Newborn Yorkshire Terriers are born black in
color with tan on the eyebrow, jaws, chest and feet. They are fully
mature in two years. Yorkies are compact in size, sweet in nature and
cheerful in character.
Our Yorkies come from
