A pet I wish I had is a Teacup Yorkshire Terrier or Yorkie. They are hypoallergenic dogs and are super small. Their faces are so adorable! These dogs are commonly used in dog shows. You can let their hair grow out to touch the floor or have it shortened. Some owners that let their Yorkie have long hair have said that they give Rapunzel a run for her money! These dogs do not shed so their owners need to keep their hair in check. Yorkies’ hair can grow up to 2 feet long! That’s a lot of hair! Weavers first brought them to England in the mid 1800s and started appearing in dog shows in 1861. It is actually said that the first therapy dog was a Yorkie. Yorkies also have a special feature to them called pharyngeal gag reflex. This is also known as reverse sneezing. Instead of blowing air in, they suck the air up and make a noise similar to a honk of a goose.

Hi Sophia! My name is Bristol! I noticed you stated how long the hair can grow. I also want a teacup Yorkie, because they are small. What does hypoallergenic mean, and would you like a Yorkie with long hair? Come check out my blog… http://afascinatingblogbybristol20.edublogs.org/
Dear Bristol,
Hypoallergenic means that people who are allergic to dogs are not going to react to the dog. Dogs have something special that can cause people to have allergic reactions. (I don’t know what it is though) I would probably want one Yorkie with short hair and one with long hair. I would most likely have hundreds if I could because they are so cute.
hi, Sophia, my favorite dog is a pit bull thank you
Hi Sophia,
You do know a lot about the Teacup Yorkshire Terrier or Yorkie. I’ve had dogs in the past but they were all … well, huge (St. Bernard and German Shepherds), when compared to this particular breed.
You say you would like to have a pet, namely a dog. Any particular reason why you don’t have one yet?
Best wishes from Portugal,

Hi Mrs.Duarte!
I don’t have a dog because of my family situation at the moment. My family and I also agreed that, because of my schedule, I cannot have one and there is no time to take care of one. Thank you for asking!
