Your Yorkshire Terrier may be tiny, but they truly are a mighty terrier, ready to do battle with random vermin at the drop of a hat! While your Yorkie may never see a rat (we hope not!), their DNA harkens back to those warrior days of being THE go-to terrier for rat removal.
Yorkies are active little dogs. They run, play, rip and snort and all of that playing can leave them with the occasional scratch, scar, scrape or ouch. Plus, Yorkies are usually groomed to look their best and no matter how skillful the groomer, your Yorkie may experience clipper or brush rash/abrasions.
