The Yorkshire Terrier (or known as a YORKIE) is a breed of small dog in the terrier category.  The long-
haired terrier is known for its playful demeanor and distinctive blue and gold coat.  Yorkies can be very
small usually weighing not more than 7 pounds.  Yorkies are a breed with no undercoat, which means
they do not shed as much as their short haired friends.  Rather, their hair is like human hair in that it
grows continuously and falls out rarely (only when brushed or broken).  Additionally, since Yorkies carry
less dander on their coat, they generally do not have the unpleasant  "wet dog" odor when wet, and they
may not affect as many people who suffer from dog-related allergies.

Individual dogs will differ, but they are generally intelligent, independent and courageous.  Yorkies are
quick to determine where they fit in a family.  Yorkies typically get along well with other dogs and love to
play together with them.  As a breed they are generally quiet, choosing only to bark at real or perceived
dangers to their family.  They make well rounded family pets.  They learn to recognize numerous words
and can be taught to fetch toys by their names.

A Maltese does not shed and is covered with long, silky, white fur.  The Maltese breed of today is
descended from dogs long associated with the island of Malta.  Characteristics include slightly rounded
skulls, with one-finger-wide dome and a black nose.  The body is compact with the length equaling the
height.  Adult Maltese range from roughly 3 to 7 pounds.

For all their diminutive size, Maltese seem to be without fear.  In fact, Maltese seem indifferent to
creatures and objects larger than themselves, which make them very easy to socialize with other dogs,
and even cats.  They love time with owners, because they are bred to be companion dogs and thrive on
love and attention.  They are very lively and playful, and even as they age, their energy level and playful
demeanor remain.  Maltese are very good with children and infants.  Maltese do not require much
physical exercise, although they should be walked daily to reduce problem behavior.  
Maltese have no undercoat, and have little to no shedding if cared for properly.  Like their relatives
Poodles and Bichon Frise', they are considered to be largely hypoallergenic and many people who are
allergic to dogs may not be allergic to the Maltese.  Daily cleaning prevents the risk of tear-staining.
The SHIH TZU is a dog breed that originated in China.  The Shih Tzu is reported to be the smallest and
oldest of the Tibetan holy dogs.  The Shih Tzu is characterized by its long, flowing double coat; sturdy
build; intelligence; and friendly, energetic, lively attitude.  In breeding all coat colors are allowed.  The ideal
Shih Tzu height at 9 to 10 inches and solid, compact body is standard.  This breed has some to no
shedding.

The life span of a Shih Tzu is 13-15 years although some variation from this range is possible.  A Shih Tzu
has two coats of fur, with the bottom coat shedding into the top coat rather than off the dog entirely; as a
result, this breed sheds very little in the conventional sense.  With regular brushing and bathing, shedding
can be reduced to almost nothing.  As they shed so lightly, Shih Tzus are considered to be one of the
breeds more suitable for people with allergies.  
The Pomeranian (often known as a Pom) is a breed of dog of the Spitz type, named for the Pomerania
region in Central Europe and classed as a toy dog because of their small size.  The breed standard calls
for a cobby, balanced dog: no longer than it is tall.  The ears are small and set high.  Its tail is
characteristic of the breed and should be turned over the back and carried flat.  Beneath the
Pomeranian's fur is a small but muscular dog, similar in appearance to a Chihuahua.
The average Pom is 3 to 7 pounds.

The Pom has two coats, an undercoat and a top coat; the first is thick, soft, and fluffy; the latter is long,
straight and coarse.  The undercoat is shed once a year by males, and by females when they are in
season, after delivering a litter, and during times of stress.  All coat colors, patterns and variations
thereof are acceptable.  Poms often live 12-19 years.  Some very healthy Poms have been known to live
20 years.

Pomeranians are typically very friendly, playful and active.  They are very intelligent as toy breeds go and
easily housebroken and trained.  Pomeranians socialize well with other dogs and animals.  Pomeranians
are extroverted and have a lot to say.  They are extremely loyal and will sit or lay content at an owner's
feet and normally prefer not to be overhandled.  Overall, the dogs make great loving companions.
