How's the marriage?

Don't be scared by this word. The fact is that now in the canine world everything has turned upside down. What was previously considered marriage is now being affirmed. The marriage becomes a standard, it is given a description and registered with the FCI. The black Yorkshire Terrier was no exception. He was named “Biewer”, and in 2007 the breed standard was approved.

This means that now you can go to exhibitions with such a dog. And get puppies from her. All for the sake of business, to put it bluntly. Selling puppies is a great business. The more fashionable the dog, the more expensive it is. So breeders of all breeds are chasing fashion.

Let's move on to the history of the appearance of the Biewer Yorkie.

How did it all start?

As often happens: once upon a time there were breeders. They bred ordinary Yorkshire terriers. And then a strange litter was born. It was different in color from its parents. Black and white puppies were born 30 years ago to breeders from the UK. The bitch gave birth to puppies of a strange color. More precisely, initially they were normal. And when they moulted, that’s when everything became clear.

What should breeders do? Normally, such puppies are defective and must be destroyed. The English couple decided otherwise. The puppies quickly found owners. And the breeders kept the male and female for themselves. When they grew up, they were tied to each other. From such closely related inbreeding the Biewer Yorkies came about.

How are they different from regular Yorkies?

The black Yorkshire Terrier differs from the standard in appearance. Let us remember that Biewer is a consequence of a genetic mutation. She played a cruel joke with the color of the dogs. Biewer Yorkies were originally black and white thirty years ago. Perhaps due to close inbreeding, the color went even further. Golden, white and black dogs began to appear.

Let's move on to the description of the black Yorkshire Terrier breed.

  • The dog's height reaches 22 centimeters. Weight ranges from 2 to 3 kilograms.
  • The animals have long, dense hair.
  • The muzzle is narrow, the eyes are deep-set, dark brown in color.
  • The nose is black.
  • Lips are dry, tightly compressed.
  • Jaws are weak.
  • The body is straight.
  • Paws are medium, straight.
  • The tail is of medium length.

The breed standard is not very different from the description of an ordinary Yorkshire terrier.

Character

The black Yorkshire terrier has a special character. At first glance, it may seem that this dog is a toy. No matter how it is: Yorkies, despite their size, are very interesting creatures.

A stubborn, loyal and intelligent dog is how their owners characterize “Biewers”. Pets are well trained. Just before that you will have to try to win their trust.

Friendly towards people. But familiarity is not tolerated. They can put it in place using their teeth. It very rarely comes to the latter. You need to irritate the dog to such an extent that it begins to resist.

They have a ringing voice. Many Biewer Terriers and classic Yorkies react nervously to the slightest rustle from the outside. That is, if they hear noise on the landing, they burst into loud barks.

They get along well with other animals. They are patient with children if they do not impose themselves too much on the pet. Detailed research on their part will not be tolerated. First they will warn you by growling, and then they will bite. Therefore, it is not recommended for people with very small children to own a Yorkshire Terrier.

Breed Features

Despite its small size, the Yorkshire Terrier is considered a serious dog , having a long coat with predominant steel or brown shades. Such a pet is very friendly towards members of its family, but is often suspicious of any strangers - the owners have to work hard to explain to the dog when to bark and when it is better to remain silent.

Yorkies can show aggression towards other animals and really dislike being alone - the pet constantly needs company, and gets along very well with older children who have learned to respect animals and do not tease them for any reason. If you keep a pet in an apartment on a permanent basis, it is worth loading it with physical activity so that the dog can spend its energy.

If another pet appears in the house, problems may arise: Yorkshire terriers get along well with other animals only if they previously grew up together from an early age and managed to become attached to each other.

Maintenance and care

Before we get to that point, let's talk about the Mini Yorkshire Terrier (black). Keep in mind that this color does not exist among the “minis”. The only thing that distinguishes them from ordinary representatives of the breed is their size. In addition, Mini Yorkies are not declared as a separate breed.

Let's return to the content. What is required for our black "Yorik"?

  • Combing. It should be regular, the pet's hair is long. She needs special care. Ideally, the Black Yorkshire Terrier is brushed daily.
  • Checking teeth, ears and eyes. The ears are wiped with a cotton pad soaked in a special lotion for cleaning them. If this is not the case, you can use a chamomile solution. Or regular warm water. Daily ear cleaning is not required. It is carried out only when the pet is heavily soiled.
  • Eyes are wiped daily. Remove various secretions.
  • There should be no plaque or tartar on the teeth. This can be prevented by cleaning them. Yorkies have their teeth brushed regularly with a special toothpaste designed for dogs. As a preventive measure, they give a bone against tartar. Apples serve as an assistant for brushing teeth. Give your pet these fruits at least once a week.
  • Does a Black Yorkshire Terrier need bathing? The question is ambiguous. After walking in dirty weather, he needs to wash his paws and belly. You should not bathe just like that; refrain from this procedure unless necessary. And one more thing: in cold weather the dog is not washed. He is prone to colds.
  • In winter, the pet is walked in clothes. A special overall will reliably protect him from the cold.
  • An adult dog is fed twice a day - morning and evening. Good, high-quality food is used as the main diet. These can be super-premium or holistic brands.

Diseases

The Black Yorkshire Terrier (photo in the article) is a sickly dog. And not only him, any Yorkie is prone to illness.

  1. Colds come first. Very susceptible to cold. If the dog blows, the owner should prepare for the consequences. The minimum is a cough, the maximum is inflammation of the middle ear.
  2. Retinal detachment is one of the most common eye conditions in Yorkies. This also includes its abnormal development or dysplasia.
  3. Two rows of teeth. This happens not only to people. Small Yorkshire Terriers often show off their baby and permanent teeth. If this happens, you will have to contact a veterinarian. Surgery will be required.
  4. Dislocation of the kneecap. This is a classic, because the Yorkie's skeleton is too fragile. Their musculoskeletal system is susceptible to all kinds of damage.
  5. Separation of the femoral head.
  6. Yorkies are very prone to fractures.
  7. Tracheal collapse. Perhaps the most terrible disease of all listed. Unfortunately, all small breeds are susceptible to it. The cartilaginous half-rings of their pharynx are too poorly developed. The result is a sharp spasm of the pharynx. The animal cannot breathe in or out.

These are external diseases. And there is also an internal set, of which the most harmless is problems with the gastrointestinal tract.

Personality of the Black Yorkshire Terrier

The Black Yorkshire Terrier has a lively and energetic character.

He is selflessly devoted to his owners and their family members. He treats children very well and is ready to play with them for hours.

The Black Yorkie is not at all aggressive towards the pets with which he grew up, but some of these dogs can be bullying towards other people's dogs.

Black Yorkies either treat passers-by on the street neutrally or show friendly interest..

In order to form the correct behavior patterns and to ensure that your pet does not develop destructive character traits over time, a black Yorkie must begin to be raised as early as possible.

Expert opinion

Kozhevin Semyon Kirillovich

Expert dog handler.

“Black Yorkshires are a very interesting breed. Despite the fact that such dogs have long been excluded from breeding, no, no, such babies will appear in some litter of standard Yorkies. Black Yorkies are active, energetic, bold and courageous, and their devotion to their owners is limitless. This color variation of Yorkies is less popular than all the others, but it has its admirers, who are attracted to these dogs by their wonderful character, combined with an unusual and rare appearance for a Yorkie.”

Interesting to know

Did you know that Yorkshire Terrier puppies are born completely black? And we are not talking about a Biewer, but about a standard Yorkie. Small golden markings are acceptable, nothing more.

As the dog ages, the color of the dog changes. Let’s say, molting begins, during which the babies “renew” their children’s coloring. Shedding can begin at 6 weeks of age. Or maybe at six months of age.

It also happens that a puppy does not shed. Remains dark or black. Among standard Yorkies, such a representative of the breed is considered defective. He does not participate in exhibitions. No one will allow such a dog to be bred.

Therefore, if you find an advertisement in the depths of the Internet for the sale of a standard black Yorkshire terrier, this is a hoax. Unscrupulous people want easy money. So they are looking for naive people who are new to the Yorkshire terrier breed standard and their colors.

Marriage or breed?

Considering that the standard recognizes only one color in Yorkshire dogs, and black Yorkies have not yet received official recognition as a separate breed either in the FCI, or in the RKF, or in the cynological federations of other countries, this variety is everywhere regarded as a plembrac in color.

Such dogs cannot participate in exhibitions or, especially, breeding.

If you are offered a black Yorkie puppy with the RKF metric without a mark of breeding marriage based on color, you should refrain from such a purchase.

Where can I buy? Price issue

A professional kennel that specializes in breeding Biewer Yorkies is your assistant. Only there you can buy a good puppy and be sure that you will not be deceived. The owner receives a puppy card, which over time changes to a pedigree.

In addition, breeders encourage potential owners to meet the puppies' parents. You can see the baby’s mother and father with your own eyes and get acquainted with their pedigrees.

How much does a black Yorkshire terrier (Biewer) cost? From 50,000 rubles at least. And the maximum price reaches 200,000 rubles.

Price examples

In order to plan in advance the approximate cost of a pet, it is worth deciding on its further “use”. If you need a puppy exclusively for the home, without the purpose of obtaining offspring and participating in representative exhibitions, then you should focus on inexpensive offers. The best options would be Yorkshire terriers from a regional breeder near your place of residence. It is quite possible to purchase an animal without birth defects and diseases for 5-10 thousand rubles .

If you are considering options for a beautiful executive dog, which in the future will be able to participate in tournaments and produce high-quality offspring, you should contact kennels with a proven reputation. In some cases, people turn to dog handlers for help, who help them select the required specimen. Such “champion puppies” cost from 15 to 35 thousand rubles , depending on the place of purchase.
