The Yorkshire Terrier is one of the smallest dog breed of terrier type, and of any dog breed. The breed developed during the 19th century in Yorkshire, England. Ideally its maximum size is 7 pounds (3.2 kg). It has a grey, black and tan coat, and the breed's nickname is Yorkie. For adult Yorkshire Terriers, importance is placed on coat colour, quality, and texture. The hair must be glossy, fine, straight, and silky. Although the AKC will not deny registration of a Yorkshire Terrier on colour alone, meaning that particolours are now registerable with the AKC, the Yorkshire Terrier Club of America has a directive that 'any solid colour or combination of colours other than black and tan' for adult dogs is a disqualification, and 'dogs of solid colour, unusual combination of colours, and particolours should be disqualified.' Owners may trim the hair short for easier care. The traditional long coat is extremely high maintenance. The coat might get knotted if not brushed daily.
