The Yorkshire Terrier Today - a dog book of distinction

It's important when it comes to Yorkshire Terriers that we focus on the present.  We don't want to know about the Yorkshire Terriers of yesteryear...we want modern terriers!  When do we want them? TODAY!

I don't know about you, but for a book about hip cutting edge Yorkshire Terriers it looks like it was published in the 80's.  Well my ugly book loving friends, I was way off.  Published in 2000, the publisher spared no expense in making the cover look contemporary and fresh.  Well Done.

99% of the dogs in this book (that aren't being washed) have a delightful red bow on their head.  Is it buy a Yorkshire Terrier get red bow half price?  Being an inquisitive girl, I explored the whole book but couldn't find any information about the red bow phenomenon occurring amongst Yorkshire Terriers.  If you have a red bow somewhere in your house, you had better sleep with one eye open because these dogs are coming for you.


Some owners breed Yorkshire Terriers for selfish reasons - such as to provide luscious wigs for themselves.  They then donate red bows to less fortunate dog breeds.

Cracking: Attaching tissues/baby wipes to Yorkshire Terrier in case of emergencies.  Secure with elastic bands.  When attached, place dog next to oversized brush.


A halloween party trick - wet your Yorkshire Terrier and scare the shit out of everybody.

The Yorkshire Terrier Today by Veronica Sameja-Hilliard has been judged by the cover.  This 'lavishly' illustrated book is full of disturbing and shockingly dated pictures of little dogs with beards and bows.  I think Yorkshire Terriers (of today) are a bit like Gremlins - don't feed them after midnight and definitely do not get them wet!
