Charming babies of the Mini-Biver-Yorkshire Terrier breed were born recently, thirty years ago, at the German breeders Gertrude and Werner Beaver. Yorkshire Terriers became the parents of these unusual puppies.
External features
The Beaver Yorkshire Terrier, whose breed description can be found in all veterinary directories today, is a tiny, harmoniously folded dog. Her height is no more than 27 cm, and the weight according to the standard should not be more than 3.5 kg.
The Beaver Yorkshire Terrier, the price of which is quite high, has a luxurious, long, completely straight coat, which, with an elegant robe, falls down on the sides of the body of this little handsome man. It splits into a parting along the center of the body - from the head to the base of the tail. On the body, the hair from the withers reaches the ground. It has a silky texture, not fluffy, but thick enough. The tail covered with wool does not stop.
The main difference from classic Yorks is the unusual color. It can be quite diverse. For example, spots are allowed on the head: white, black, golden. The case is most often blue and white, black and white, black with a white frill or blue. Chest, paws and stomach always have a pure white color.
Character
This baby is smart and fun, active and confident. The animal is very affectionate and contact, having a strong and balanced character. This is probably why many experts believe that this is the best dog for a child. This is confirmed by the owners of such babies. Indeed, a very mature and intelligent dog Biver Yorkshire Terrier. The description of the breed in the cynological literature suggests that these terriers inherited many features of their ancient ancestors - perseverance, courage, as well as stubbornness. Therefore, the owner should, if necessary, be tough in raising a puppy, despite its touching and gentle appearance.
Future owners of these animals need to know what features the Beaver Yorkshire Terrier has. The description of the breed, which is given by the leading dog handlers of our country, suggests that these babies retain spontaneity and openness to a very old age. But it should be noted that they very quickly learn what the owner allows them to do, and what categorically forbids.
Maintenance and care
Today the hero of our article is the Beaver Yorkshire Terrier. The description of the breed that we gave above probably told you that the main problem in caring for such a pet is the care and care of a luxurious fur coat. Comb it should be every day. If the owner of the dog does not intend to represent it at exhibitions, it will be more expedient to cut the hair shorter. Specialists call such a haircut "under the puppy."
We have already mentioned that according to many owners this is the best dog for a child. It will be very useful if the baby begins to take an active part in caring for the animal, and not just play with it. The morning of a small beaver should begin with eye wash. To do this, you can use warm boiled water or a weak solution of chamomile.
To clean the ears, use cotton buds, and the hair on them should be sheared, exposing the third part of the ear.
When biver’s milk teeth change, their fangs quite often don’t fall out. If this does not happen by seven months, you must contact a specialist who will remove them. In addition, it is important to remove tartar.
We have already said that these cute babies are very curious, and if their courage is added to this, it should be clear to the owner that it is only necessary to walk the beaver on a leash. Otherwise, having become interested in something, your pet may chase after an object of interest to him.
Health
Among dwarf dog breeds, the Beaver Yorkshire Terrier can be considered a long-liver. The description of the breed and the evidence of the owners indicate that, with proper care, they live up to 15 years. Unfortunately, they have diseases typical of the breed:
- Portosystemic extrahepatic shunts - vascular pathology (congenital), in which the animal stops growing, it often causes causeless vomiting, and convulsions are possible. Treatment is surgery.
- Acute pancreatitis. It is often caused by excessively fatty and high-calorie foods and overweight dogs.
- Legg-Perthes disease is another problem that can only be treated surgically. This is necrosis of the femoral head, which is manifested by rapidly progressive muscle atrophy and lameness.
The Beaver Yorkshire Terrier (the breed description confirms this) is more likely to suffer from hereditary diseases, so before buying a puppy, you need to collect all the information about this breed line. This will help you avoid future health problems.
Beaver Yorkshire Terrier puppies: how to choose the right one
We have no doubt that every owner wants to get a thoroughbred and healthy puppy. How to do it right? Perhaps you should not say that such a dog should be bought only in a specialized kennel.
First, study the accompanying documents for the puppy, look at his parents. Do not be surprised if the mother is cut off for the period of feeding the offspring.
Now you can see the kids. Immediately pay attention to the dental formula - it should be complete, 6 x 6 incisors.
The color must comply with the standard. The body is not allowed to have red hair. Put the puppy in the rack, but rather ask the breeder about it, appreciate the silhouette of the baby. The back is of great importance - it should be wide, straight and even. Look at the puppy in motion.
When you bring the baby to the house, in the very first days he will begin to surprise you with his mind, ingenuity. Beavers are endlessly friendly, always cheerful, but at the same time this baby has his own opinion, and she will achieve her goal, showing incredible perseverance. Therefore, raising such a dog, you need to be considerate and persistent.
Parenting
This process is conditionally divided into three parts. The first stage begins even before the baby is weaned from the mother. The puppy must understand that next to it there are people who have rights and obligations, he must learn the rules of life according to the laws of the pack. During this period, he will learn to attack and defend, play, get food, but at the same time, if possible, get rid of stubbornness. Watch the mother raise her puppies. She lovingly teaches them liveliness, fun, but if the need arises, she punishes the tricks for every misconduct.
Do not get a puppy who grew up without a mother. If the animal does not know maternal affection and love, then it has not received initial education. Subsequently, such a dog will be emotionally unable to treat people with love.
The second stage begins after moving to a new home. This usually happens when the puppy is 6-8 weeks old. At this time, he learns the rules of coexistence with man. The kid should understand that you can’t whine at night, that he should sleep only in his place, not bite on shoes, furniture, etc.
After some time, the beaver puppy goes for a walk with the owner. From this begins the third phase of education. The puppy will learn to walk on a leash, not pick up anything from the ground, understand the command "Fu!" and “Come to me!” if the owner releases him from the leash.
Puppy cost
This is not a cheap dog - Beaver Yorkshire Terrier. The price of such a baby in Russia ranges from 25 to 50 thousand rubles.
