Yorkshire Terriers, otherwise known as Yorkies, have a long history of being popular pets and companions in the United States. While some people are put off by their small size and the typical bow at the top of the head, it would be a mistake to dismiss Yorkies as fluffy, timid lap dogs for old ladies. In many respects, this breed is more like a typical Terrier than the Yorkie's Toy group peers. Short History of the BreedMany believe Yorkshire Terriers evolved from a mix of English and Scottish Terriers when many Scots moved to England during the Industrial Revolution. Yorkies first appeared in England at a dog show in 1861, and were named Yorkshire Terriers for the location where they were first bred, Yorkshire, England. The breed quickly moved to the other side of the pond and due to the immediate popularity of the breed, became and AKC-recognized breed in 1885. Yorkshire Terriers have been one of the most popular breeds in the U.S. ever since. |

My 8 1/2 hr old yorkie Maxi was diagosed about 7 weeks ago. Vet started him on Lantus which is a long acting insulin, but his sugar is still high and he continues to drink and pee excessively. My Vet thinks this will eventually work but I'm now skeptical. Lantus is fairly new and long acting so supposedly there's less chance of hypoglycemia. Any opinions out there?
