What Is the History of the Teacup Yorkie?

Teacup Yorkies have a long history. Yorkies were bred as ratting terriers, which likely consisted of a male and two females. There are also some indications that the Paisley Terrier and Maltese were used to provide a longer coat. While the history of Teacup Yorkies isn’t clear, there is evidence that suggests that Yorkies became popular in the 1860s, which is around the time when the breed was officially registered. Yorkies didn’t make it to North America until the mid 1870s.

Once Yorkies became common in the United States, the breed became popular for pest control and companionship. The only time the breed’s popularity dipped was during the 1940s (World War II) because demand for dogs declined. That said, Teacup Yorkies became popular when more people moved to cities. Because of their small size, they fit well in apartments and compact spaces.

Are Teacup Yorkies Good With Kids?

Yes, Teacup Yorkies are good with kids. Teacup Yorkies are affectionate dogs that don’t have aggressive tendencies, which makes them safe to have alongside a child. While we always recommend watching over your child when they’re around a dog, a Teacup Yorkie will most likely want to entertain and play with your child. That said, Teacup Yorkies tend to act differently around children until they’re properly socialized. As long as you display clear boundaries, there should be no issues.

Are Teacup Yorkies Good With Other Animals.

Teacup Yorkies can be good with other animals but there are a few things to consider. First and foremost, Teacup Yorkies  have a nervous disposition. This means that they may appear standoffish when other pets are introduced into your home. Furthermore, this can lead to issues that create anxiety and other mental health problems for your Teacup Yorkie if they’re not properly acclimated to new animals.

That said, Teacup Yorkies get along with most animals over time. The process might take weeks or months but you can have more than one pet if you own a Teacup Yorkie. If possible, we recommend pairing a Teacup Yorkie with a dog that has a more docile personality.
