How To Avoid a Dog Bite
Never approach a strange dog. If you see a loose dog, it is not always a good idea to approach the dog.
..:::How To Pet
Bathe the Yorkie at least once a week using a good quality dog shampoo and conditioner, found at any pet store. Ask your breeder or pet store for a breed-specific recommendation. Once tangles are wet, work them out with your fingers.
Brush your Yorkie's wet fur after bathing, using a soft pin brush with a rubber back. Then comb through her fur to make sure all mats are gone. Fluff dry.
Wash your male Yorkshire Terrier daily with a damp cloth and warm water where urine collects in his fur. If left unclean, it could result in terrible matting, soreness or a more serious health problem.
Trim several areas of fur every four to six weeks. Using a number 15 blade grooming scissors, trim the fur underneath and around his pads and the fur around his rectum. Trim fur on the top third of his ears using a number 10 blade scissors, cutting fur on the inner and outer sides and edges of ears.
Clean teeth at least once a week with a dog toothbrush and toothpaste. The Yorkie tends to get bad tartar buildup on their teeth.
Clip nails just after bath time, when nails are soft and easy to trim. Only clip the tips, being careful to avoid the quick, which will bleed if cut.
