If you are wondering how to know if my yorkshire is purebred, you can find out by its physical appearance. It is a breed whose main characteristic is its size: its weight is between 2 and 5 kg and measures between 15 and 18 cm height.
Males tend to have a slightly greater corpulence than females. The skull of the Yorkshire, with respect to the rest of his body, is smaller compared to other breeds. Its muzzle is flat and the color of its eyes is dark.
Other highlights of his appearance include the following:
- Fur: they have a very fine and long coat. It usually changes over the years: it’s very dark in color when they are puppies and, when they reach adulthood, they reach a much lighter color, with golden and silver tones. In addition, their hair coat is hypoallergenic..
- Pricked ears: they have V-shaped ears with a lot of short hair. Yorkies’ ears begin to stand up from three months of age, but there are cases in which they remain droopy.
- Tail coat: they have a medium sized tail with lots of hair.
- Extremities: its nails are black and the shape of its legs is round.
