Popular, Since Forever?

This breed has been known since the beginning of the 18th century. Yorkies were used as hunting dogs in Scotland and England because they were fast, and they could fit in any space while chasing the hunt. But the Yorkie soon became one of the leading “accessories” of ladies throughout England’s society. Therefore, this breed has been trendy since its inception.

In the middle of the 19th century, Yorkies’ owners tried to improve this breed by making the dog as small as possible and the hair longer. It was already a fashionable dog at that time, so the point was making Yorkies as tiny as possible because then its price would jump. Even today, it is one of the most wanted breeds, considering the growing trend of small dogs in the last few years. That is why breeders are more engaged in selling small dogs because they bring more money.

Low Maintenance Pup

Another reason that affects the price of a Yorkie is that it is a dog breed suitable for the apartment. They don’t need a lot of space, and several walks in the park or around the neighbourhood are just enough for them.

Even though you have to brush its fur daily, with Yorkie, you don’t have to worry about allergies – their coat isn’t allergenic, so you and your family can be completely safe. Also, the maintenance of these dogs is minimal because of its size, and it suits both experienced owners and those who are having a new furry family member for the first time.

The Price

The price of a Yorkie puppy can be different depending on how purebred it is. As we’ve already said, the smaller the puppy – the higher the price. You should be very careful with so-called “teacup Yorkies” because when the Yorkie puppy is smaller than the standard prescribed by veterinary regulations, it can be much more sensitive and potentially unhealthy. Numerous health problems and diseases can appear as your dog grows, and also its lifespan can be shortened.

Therefore, It’s a recommendation that you take the puppy from a verified breeder just to make sure that your new tiny family member will be one healthy and happy dog.
