The "Temperament" section of this article is blatently not neutral It lavishes the dog with praise while giving only a very carefully nuanced and indirect admission of its yappiness. This is an encyclopedia. Just lay out the facts.There seems to be too much fluffly language in this article. I didn't want to hurt anyone's feelings (or waste my time) by trying to glean it all out, but I thought it should at least be mentioned. (Examples: "pack a surprisingly powerful...", "canine cousins")go to dogster to learn about this breed Media:dogster .com
Also, did anyone notice that the final paragraph of the Temperament section seems to be defending the intelligence of the breed?
There are several clauses such as, "like all dogs" and "as with many purebred dogs". These seem to warrant the removal of the statements that they modify. If such characteristics are not specific to the breed, why should they be specially noted in an article about the breed?
Finally, I don't think it's bad enough to be nominated for a dispute, but this article certainly seems to lack objectivity. Much has been contributed with little or no regard for neutrality, clarity, or verifiability. Apparently, some contributors have been so eager to discuss the topic, that the contribution guidelines were laid aside. --Jack 17:03, 27 April 2006 (UTC)

GuloGuloGulo, can you please explain why you changed "... fondly known as Yorkie" to "... also known"? "Yorkie" is a "pet" term, a sort of slang that is used to fondly refer to these dogs. It is not a name that stands on an equal footing with the full "Yorkshire Terrier" (at least as used by people I know). Nyh
Can someone please include some information in the Yorkshire Terrier article about the Trachea problem that can occur in this breed? I learned a year or so ago about this problem which can and does occur with this particular breed (and certain other breeds of small dogs) and many Yorkshire Terrier owners don't know about this issue. The Trachea can collapse in some of the dogs in this breed and when it does there's little or nothing that can be done about it, leaving the affected dog to be put to sleep. I've heard this problem may be genetic, but it can also be brought about by tugging at tight collars around the neck, as such collars shouldn't be used on these dogs but instead a halter to avoid pressure on the neck. I would include some information in the wikipedia article on Yorkshire Terrier about this myself, but at the moment I don't have the exact info about this in front of me so I'm hoping someone else will include the information. I've found this Trachea collapse medical problem mentioned in books on the breed and on various personal websites on-line. -- Demonslave 15:45, Sep 21, 2004 (UTC)

I've added the photo request template and let me explain in detail. The main reason I added the request is because a don't think that any of the current photos do justice to this gorgeous breed.

I made an edit to the breed history. Careful not to refer to the Broken Haired Scotch terrier as a "Scottie" or a "Scottish Terrier." A Scottie is a completely seperate breed that has absolutly no connection to the Yorkshire Terrier.
I found on the web today several sites selling AKC Parti-colored Yorkshire Terriers.. Is this a true color variation in this breed? I noticed it wasn't mentioned at all in the article about this color variant existing and was curious about it.. Aparently AKC allows it to be registered as a Parti-colored Yorkshire Terrier from what i have read, but not sure. I have asked one of the breeders and was told that this is not the same as the Biewer.. just curious -- Ltshears ( talk) 16:15, 8 March 2009 (UTC)
There was a great deal of redundant material scattered around in different sections, as well as multiple tags that had not been addressed for about a year, and obvious vandalism along with missing material that may have been deleted during well-meaning edits. The image box data and categories have been restored, and the article given a structure more like that of the other dog project articles. This should make additional editing easier.-- Hafwyn ( talk) 05:22, 14 March 2009 (UTC)
Issues:
I removed the Temperament section, as well as another, because both were "sourced" exclusively by an Amazon page. I removed all the references to that page as well, though keeping the info which it sourced, as it didn't strike me as being spurious. I removed the film/tv/lit references in the Notability section, which trimmed it considerably. If you want to cut more, I don't think I'd mind. I maintained the pictures. I don't think it's that bad keeping them there, but if you still want them removed, go ahead. carl bunderson (talk) (contributions) 23:59, 16 March 2009 (UTC)

THIS DOGS ARE VERY SWEET DOGS THEIR R NICE DOGS TOO HAVE FOR A FAMILY DOG PET. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.3.254.113 ( talk) 00:44, 7 May 2009 (UTC)
I find this strange that this hasn't been mentioned before - why isn't there a British English rule on this article, the Yorkshire Terrier originates in England, that must be a valid claim for this to be written in British English. There are a number of uses of American English used in this article - the most obvious is the 'Other Colors' section. I recently reverted a edit
[1] which changed 'reconise' (correct British Spelling) to 'reconize' (correct American Spelling) - can we make this a official rule of this article, to just stop the random sentences with different variants of English. It seems perfectly reasonable.
Thanks

Chocolate Yorkshire Terrier should be merged into this page (Yorkshire Terrier). It doesn't make a lot of sense to have separate articles for each color that occurs in each breed. What next, "Merle Border Collie"? "Blue Newfoundland"? Not reasonable. Articles on those colors/patterns in general are fine, but this is a classic case where merging would be more appropriate. Anna talk 04:45, 6 July 2011 (UTC)
I just changed every occurrence of color to colour. The reason was purely arithmetic in nature; there were some 19 instances of colour vs about 8 instances of color so the British version won per WP:CONSISTENCY. The argument that Yorkies are a British breed and therefore British spelling automatically applies is not compelling; the breed is international and not strongly enough associated with British culture to meet that standard. However, the number of British spellings of colour outnumbered the American so it wins by that criterion. I did not analyze the article for other American/British spelling conflicts and it's possible that if they were all taken into consideration then the American spelling would prove more numerous. If anyone wants to volunteer to do this analysis then be my guest; I personally think we should just pick a variety of English for this page and then stick with it. Also, when changing color to colour, please note that:
Ps. I just noticed that this talk page has a British English banner so I guess that means it's sorted, we're using British.

As stated in the wikipage: The defining features of the breed are its maximum size of 7 pounds (3.2 kg), and it cites the American Kennel Club which is a breeding and showmanship club.
To say that the Yorkshire Terrier has a maximum size of 3.5kg and use that as a "defining feature" is completely inaccurate since it is not uncommon to find completely fit pure breed Yorkies with up to 7kg (15+lbs), and honestly just because they are over the "American Kennel Club" standards it does not mean they are not Yorkies.
I suggest that this section needs clarification in a way that it says the "maximum size" of 3.2kg is the size most breeders expect from a Yorkie that is used for breeding and dog shows, but not the actual maximum size of the breed as a whole, in the same way that 80kg for example is not the maximum size for a perfectly fit human.
I've seen too many dogs abandoned by their owners just because they did not meet the expected breed standards and wikipedia should strive to be fully accurate in its content, specially in subjects that may have a positive/negative impact in the real world. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 84.90.178.226 ( talk) 22:31, 4 June 2014 (UTC)
One can't put a picture of a dog with only showing front, head - in the lead. And the picture is not sharp. Not when better pictures are on Commons. And a big red red Bingo on it. That is not possible - not allowed. Hafspajen ( talk) 08:14, 29 August 2014 (UTC)
This picture was in the article before, meaning to illustrate how owners put close on dogs. It is sharp and quite good. Can it be added? Otherwise might be added at Dog clothing or something. Hafspajen ( talk) 15:06, 20 September 2014 (UTC)
I replaced the photo under Health as you could not see any features on the previous photo.

According to the American Kennel Club, the Biewer Terrier is a separate breed (the AKC includes it in its Foundation Stock Service group). Biewer Terrier is also recognized as a separate breed in Russia and Brazil. -- Canarian ( talk) 17:20, 28 October 2016 (UTC)

I removed the following parenthetical statement about Biewer Terrier's
"(note that this breed is not eligible for registration in Germany, its country of origin. Until it is, no official club, world-wide will recognize the Biewer as being purebred)"
This is clearly outdated because the AKC has the dog in the Foundation Stock Service and apparently the kennel clubs from Brazil, South Africa and the Bahamas also have it at some stage of recognition. Jemmaca ( talk) 07:02, 6 December 2014 (UTC)
The RFC representing Russia in the FCI recognizes the Biewer Terrier too. [1] Here is a table where you see the ancestors of today's Biewer and Parti Colored Yorkies who were carrieres of the recessive Piebald-Gene. There is one common ancestor of both "Streamglen Shaun" who had small white spots but still became a champion.

Every dog breed is defined by all criteria mentioned in the standard. In the paragraph other colors we have the sentence: "The breed is defined by its colour, ..." This sentence is a quotation not from the standard but from an exaggeratedly formulated personal opinion. If the breed were defined only by the coat colour, a German Shepherd would also fit well into this definition (apart from the melanistic mask, which Yorkies should not have). I'd suggest, we rephrase that. For example: The standard prescribes clearly defined fur-colors, and non-standard colors may ...

The allele on the B-Locus determines whether a dog produces chocolate brown or black eumelanin. If the dog has the allele B (BB or Bb) he produces black eumelanin. Only if the dog has the recessive allele b homozygous (bb) he produces chocolate brown eumelanin. For example the rough-haired dachshund can be black and tan or choco and tan [3]. The coat colour gene B or b doesn't have any influence on the health. They are all healthy dogs. Why should anyone doubt the health of a Yorkie in choco and tan? [4] Yorkie breeders without knowledge about dog coat colour genetics sometimes assume it was a mutation, but it isn't. It is the unexpected appearance of a homozygous dog, genotype bb, born from two genetic carriers, from two parents with genotype Bb, phenotype black and tan or blue and tan, which fully correspond to the breed standard. This has nothing to do with mutation or crossbreeding with other breeds. It just occurs very rarely, because the carriers of the allele b are very rare in this breed and there is an extremely low probability that one carrier will be mated with another. So don't be worried if one or two puppies in a litter of five has a non-standard colour. If you are in the american yorkshire terrier club or in the VDH the individual will be excluded from breeding. If you're in a different umbrella organization, it won't. The same applies for the allele e for recessive red on the extension locus and the piebald-gene sP.

What's wrong with citation number 6? It's cited as a reference for no fewer than 30 of article's assertions, and yet when I go to it at the bottom it's just blank. Where did all of that stuff come from? TobyTheRobot 15:45, 20 June 2007 (UTC)
I made an edit to the breed history. Careful not to refer to the Broken Haired Scotch terrier as a "Scottie" or a "Scottish Terrier." A Scottie is a completely seperate breed that has absolutly no connection to the Yorkshire Terrier.
I found on the web today several sites selling AKC Parti-colored Yorkshire Terriers.. Is this a true color variation in this breed? I noticed it wasn't mentioned at all in the article about this color variant existing and was curious about it.. Aparently AKC allows it to be registered as a Parti-colored Yorkshire Terrier from what i have read, but not sure. I have asked one of the breeders and was told that this is not the same as the Biewer.. just curious -- Ltshears ( talk) 16:15, 8 March 2009 (UTC)
There was a great deal of redundant material scattered around in different sections, as well as multiple tags that had not been addressed for about a year, and obvious vandalism along with missing material that may have been deleted during well-meaning edits. The image box data and categories have been restored, and the article given a structure more like that of the other dog project articles. This should make additional editing easier.-- Hafwyn ( talk) 05:22, 14 March 2009 (UTC)
Issues:
I removed the Temperament section, as well as another, because both were "sourced" exclusively by an Amazon page. I removed all the references to that page as well, though keeping the info which it sourced, as it didn't strike me as being spurious. I removed the film/tv/lit references in the Notability section, which trimmed it considerably. If you want to cut more, I don't think I'd mind. I maintained the pictures. I don't think it's that bad keeping them there, but if you still want them removed, go ahead. carl bunderson (talk) (contributions) 23:59, 16 March 2009 (UTC)

THIS DOGS ARE VERY SWEET DOGS THEIR R NICE DOGS TOO HAVE FOR A FAMILY DOG PET. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.3.254.113 ( talk) 00:44, 7 May 2009 (UTC)
I find this strange that this hasn't been mentioned before - why isn't there a British English rule on this article, the Yorkshire Terrier originates in England, that must be a valid claim for this to be written in British English. There are a number of uses of American English used in this article - the most obvious is the 'Other Colors' section. I recently reverted a edit
[1] which changed 'reconise' (correct British Spelling) to 'reconize' (correct American Spelling) - can we make this a official rule of this article, to just stop the random sentences with different variants of English. It seems perfectly reasonable.
Thanks

Chocolate Yorkshire Terrier should be merged into this page (Yorkshire Terrier). It doesn't make a lot of sense to have separate articles for each color that occurs in each breed. What next, "Merle Border Collie"? "Blue Newfoundland"? Not reasonable. Articles on those colors/patterns in general are fine, but this is a classic case where merging would be more appropriate. Anna talk 04:45, 6 July 2011 (UTC)
I just changed every occurrence of color to colour. The reason was purely arithmetic in nature; there were some 19 instances of colour vs about 8 instances of color so the British version won per WP:CONSISTENCY. The argument that Yorkies are a British breed and therefore British spelling automatically applies is not compelling; the breed is international and not strongly enough associated with British culture to meet that standard. However, the number of British spellings of colour outnumbered the American so it wins by that criterion. I did not analyze the article for other American/British spelling conflicts and it's possible that if they were all taken into consideration then the American spelling would prove more numerous. If anyone wants to volunteer to do this analysis then be my guest; I personally think we should just pick a variety of English for this page and then stick with it. Also, when changing color to colour, please note that:
Ps. I just noticed that this talk page has a British English banner so I guess that means it's sorted, we're using British.

As stated in the wikipage: The defining features of the breed are its maximum size of 7 pounds (3.2 kg), and it cites the American Kennel Club which is a breeding and showmanship club.
To say that the Yorkshire Terrier has a maximum size of 3.5kg and use that as a "defining feature" is completely inaccurate since it is not uncommon to find completely fit pure breed Yorkies with up to 7kg (15+lbs), and honestly just because they are over the "American Kennel Club" standards it does not mean they are not Yorkies.
I suggest that this section needs clarification in a way that it says the "maximum size" of 3.2kg is the size most breeders expect from a Yorkie that is used for breeding and dog shows, but not the actual maximum size of the breed as a whole, in the same way that 80kg for example is not the maximum size for a perfectly fit human.
I've seen too many dogs abandoned by their owners just because they did not meet the expected breed standards and wikipedia should strive to be fully accurate in its content, specially in subjects that may have a positive/negative impact in the real world. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 84.90.178.226 ( talk) 22:31, 4 June 2014 (UTC)
One can't put a picture of a dog with only showing front, head - in the lead. And the picture is not sharp. Not when better pictures are on Commons. And a big red red Bingo on it. That is not possible - not allowed. Hafspajen ( talk) 08:14, 29 August 2014 (UTC)
This picture was in the article before, meaning to illustrate how owners put close on dogs. It is sharp and quite good. Can it be added? Otherwise might be added at Dog clothing or something. Hafspajen ( talk) 15:06, 20 September 2014 (UTC)
I replaced the photo under Health as you could not see any features on the previous photo. It was claimed that the photo did not add anything-yet it illustrates a healthy seven year old Yorkshire arguably at mid life. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Zj007ny ( talk • contribs) 15:20, 20 September 2014 (UTC)

According to the American Kennel Club, the Biewer Terrier is a separate breed (the AKC includes it in its Foundation Stock Service group). Biewer Terrier is also recognized as a separate breed in Russia and Brazil. -- Canarian ( talk) 17:20, 28 October 2016 (UTC)
AS you will see at the top of this page the Afd for Biewer Terrier was closed as merge to Yorkshire Terrier. Does anyone here want to handle it. I can have a look at this tomorrow. Jezhotwells ( talk) 22:29, 20 December 2009 (UTC)
I removed the following parenthetical statement about Biewer Terrier's
"(note that this breed is not eligible for registration in Germany, its country of origin. Until it is, no official club, world-wide will recognize the Biewer as being purebred)"
This is clearly outdated because the AKC has the dog in the Foundation Stock Service and apparently the kennel clubs from Brazil, South Africa and the Bahamas also have it at some stage of recognition. Jemmaca ( talk) 07:02, 6 December 2014 (UTC)
The RFC representing Russia in the FCI recognizes the Biewer Terrier too. [1] Here is a table where you see the ancestors of today's Biewer and Parti Colored Yorkies who were carrieres of the recessive Piebald-Gene. There is one common ancestor of both "Streamglen Shaun" who had small white spots but still became a champion.

Every dog breed is defined by all criteria mentioned in the standard. In the paragraph other colors we have the sentence: "The breed is defined by its colour, ..." This sentence is a quotation not from the standard but from an exaggeratedly formulated personal opinion. If the breed were defined only by the coat colour, a German Shepherd would also fit well into this definition (apart from the melanistic mask, which Yorkies should not have). I'd suggest, we rephrase that. For example: The standard prescribes clearly defined fur-colors, and non-standard colors may ...

The allele on the B-Locus determines whether a dog produces chocolate brown or black eumelanin. If the dog has the allele B (BB or Bb) he produces black eumelanin. Only if the dog has the recessive allele b homozygous (bb) he produces chocolate brown eumelanin. For example the rough-haired dachshund can be black and tan or choco and tan [3]. The coat colour gene B or b doesn't have any influence on the health. They are all healthy dogs. Why should anyone doubt the health of a Yorkie in choco and tan? [4] Yorkie breeders without knowledge about dog coat colour genetics sometimes assume it was a mutation, but it isn't. It is the unexpected appearance of a homozygous dog, genotype bb, born from two genetic carriers, from two parents with genotype Bb, phenotype black and tan or blue and tan, which fully correspond to the breed standard. This has nothing to do with mutation or crossbreeding with other breeds. It just occurs very rarely, because the carriers of the allele b are very rare in this breed and there is an extremely low probability that one carrier will be mated with another. So don't be worried if one or two puppies in a litter of five has a non-standard colour. If you are in the american yorkshire terrier club or in the VDH the individual will be excluded from breeding. If you're in a different umbrella organization, it won't. The same applies for the allele e for recessive red on the extension locus and the piebald-gene sP.
