Bobblehead Yorkie

A toy breed with an “important air,” the yorkie has a high head carriage and confident manner that conveys its terrier traits. These small, compact dogs are long-lived, hypoallergenic, and highly prized by urbanites. Their feisty, sometimes bossy personalities may surprise you. Beneath their dainty appearance, they are true terriers and were originally bred to catch mice and rats in mines and mills before becoming the lapdogs of Victorian ladies.

These little dogs’ feisty, tenacious personalities make them good watchdogs but can also make them challenging to live with. They can be sensitive to cold weather and often need to be kept indoors with their owners. Their small size makes them vulnerable to larger dogs and wild predators, so they must be protected in these circumstances.

Yorkies are also very active and like to play. They will chase squirrels, crows, and other animals, but should be fenced in to keep them from running off into the street. Due to their small size, they are prone to dental problems and other common ailments that can be difficult to treat. They need to be brushed daily to prevent matting and should have their ears checked weekly for debris or signs of infection. The yorkie’s national parent club provides detailed grooming and bathing instructions on its website.

The breed was created in the mid-1800s by crossbreeding terriers brought to England by Scottish weavers. The name Yorkshire Terrier derives from the town of Yorkshire in the United Kingdom, where it is believed to have originated. The yorkie’s most distinctive feature is its straight, floor-length coat that sweeps the ground from nose to tail. Its color is steel blue, gray, or black with tan markings.

In 2005, the Littlest Pet Shop line of toys introduced a yorkie-shaped pet named Yorkie #006 with a tuft of fake hair on its head. This pet was also sold in a multipack and as part of the gift sets. This yorkie was produced with a pink magnet and an older copyright date, and later with a blue magnet and newer date.

This toy has a weighted base and a moving head that nods forward and backward. It is made of hand painted resin by Swibco and stands 7″ tall. The smirk on this dog’s face gives it a fun, mischievous personality. This is a wonderful toy for children and adults alike! The pet is available in several colors, but the most popular is a light grey. This toy is suitable for children ages three and up. It is available online and at many toy stores and specialty shops. The price range for this bobblehead is $25 to $35. It would be a wonderful addition to any Littlest Pet Shop collection!
