| The coat of a
Yorkshire Terrier is unique to the canine species. One special
difference between the Yorkshire Terrier and other canine breeds
is that it does not have an undercoat. A single hair sprouts from
each hair follicle, whereas in other breeds there are usually 3 to
5 hairs. This makes the Yorkshire Terrier more susceptible than
other small dog breeds to adverse environmental factors such as
extremes of temperature and urban pollution. The special physiology of the Yorkshire Terrier, such as its exceptional coat, fiery temperament and trusty nature make it a very unusual breed that needs special attention, especially in terms of its nutrition. |
