What is a Yorkshire Terrier?
The Yorkshire Terrier is a toy terrier breed of roughly 2 to 3.5 kg, developed in the mills of northern England as a ratter and refined into one of the world's favourite companions. It carries a fine, silky, low-shedding blue-and-tan coat and a personality several sizes larger than the dog, with a lifespan of 13 to 16 years.
Curious Tails is an AVS licensed pet shop at 2 Balestier Road. We match by lifestyle first, and the Yorkie suits a specific home well: adults or older children who want a bold, portable companion with a low-shedding coat.

Yorkshire Terrier Temperament: A Working Terrier in a Silk Coat
The show ring made the Yorkie glamorous, but the mills made it first, and the working terrier is still in there: brave to the point of comedy, busy, curious, and convinced it is the household's chief of security. This is not a passive lapdog; it is a small adventurer that also happens to love laps.
The honest part, from two years of matching puppies to families: that terrier confidence needs early shaping. A well-socialised Yorkie is outgoing and charming everywhere it goes; an under-socialised one appoints itself alarm system, and at HDB corridor acoustics, that matters. Start the free first training lesson early and stay consistent, and you get the charming version.
With calm older children the Yorkie does well. With toddlers, we say no plainly: 2 to 3.5 kg is delicate. The sturdier Shih Tzu or Cockapoo is the kinder family pick.
Can a Yorkie Be Left Alone During Work Hours?
Moderately well, and better than the velcro companion breeds. A Yorkie's terrier self-sufficiency means solitude itself isn't the problem; under-stimulation is. Leave a safe playpen, chew work, and a settled routine, and most Yorkies adapt to a working household's hours.
Two caveats: the voice, which needs training before boredom finds it, and the size, which means aircon chill and safe furniture heights matter more than for bigger dogs. If maximum independence is the goal, compare the Mini Dachshund before deciding.
Good fit if
- Adults or calm older children at home
- You want low-shedding in a tiny package
- You enjoy a bold little character
Yorkshire Terrier Size, Coat and Lifespan
Honest numbers, including the ones the teacup listings skip.
| Trait | What to expect |
|---|---|
| Adult weight | Roughly 2 to 3.5 kg; among the smallest breeds in the world |
| Height | Around 18 to 23 cm at the shoulder |
| Coat | Fine, silky, hair-like and low-shedding; classic blue & tan, with puppies born black & tan and lightening with age |
| Lifespan | 13 to 16 years with good care |
| Exercise | About 30 minutes a day, plus indoor play; a flat is genuinely enough space |
| Shedding & allergies | Very low-shedding; one of the classic picks for allergy-sensitive homes |
A note on colour: don't be surprised that Yorkie puppies are born black and tan; the signature steel-blue develops over the first year or two. And on size, 2 to 3.5 kg is already tiny; the "teacup" section below covers why we don't promise less.
Yorkie Price in Singapore: What You'll Pay and What's Included
Most shops make you WhatsApp them just to learn the number. Here's ours in writing: $4,688 to $5,388, all-in.
Typical Singapore market
- Yorkie listings range from about $2,500 to $8,000
- Price usually not published; enquiry required
- "Teacup" listings priced at a premium
- Starter supplies, training and delivery charged separately
Curious Tails
- $4,688 to $5,388, printed right here
- $500+ starter kit with 30+ items included
- Free home delivery with the playpen set up before you arrive
- Free first lesson with an AVS-certified trainer, plus free boarding after deposit
Why is our price printed? We don't carry the marketing spend the bigger names do, and we'd rather win on value and word of mouth. Compare the full picture on our transparent puppy pricing page, and plan the ongoing costs with the first-year puppy budget guide.
The $500+ Starter Kit Every Yorkie Goes Home With
Every Yorkshire Terrier leaves us with a starter kit worth $500 and up: more than 30 items across eight categories, a playpen, a carrier, grooming tools, small-breed puppy food, outdoor gear, toilet training supplies, oral health care, and toys. For a Yorkie two items do heavy lifting: the harness, because a 3 kg throat should never take leash pressure, and the oral care set, because dental disease is this breed's number-one lifelong issue.
On delivery day, Nelson or Kim walks you through every item: how to use it, and how it fits into your Yorkie's daily care. Most of the questions new owners would otherwise ask later are answered before we leave your home.
See the full 30+ item kit breakdown, category by category.
Is a Yorkshire Terrier Right for Your Lifestyle?
We ask about your routine before recommending any breed. Here's the honest short version for a Yorkie.
| Your situation | Our honest take |
|---|---|
| Adults wanting a bold, portable companion | Ideal. Maximum character, minimum kilograms, low-shedding coat |
| Allergy-sensitive household | Great fit. The silky coat is one of the classic low-shedding options |
| Working household with a settled routine | Workable. Terrier self-sufficiency helps; train the voice early |
| Home with boisterous toddlers | Reconsider. At 2 to 3.5 kg a Yorkie is delicate; the sturdier Shih Tzu is the kinder match |
| You want instant, eager obedience | Adjust expectations. Terriers negotiate; keep sessions short, fun and rewarding |
Not sure the Yorkie is your match?
We'd rather talk you out of the wrong breed than sell you the wrong dog. Message us your daily routine and we'll tell you straight.
Yorkie vs Silky Terrier: The Cousins Everyone Mixes Up
They share ancestry and the flowing coat, and Singapore listings regularly confuse them. The honest differences: the Yorkshire Terrier is smaller at 2 to 3.5 kg with a finer, silkier coat; the Silky Terrier, an Australian development from Yorkie crosses, runs 4 to 5 kg, slightly sturdier, with a touch more working-terrier drive. Day to day they live very similarly: low-shedding, alert, bold beyond their size.
Pick the Yorkie for the smaller frame and the classic look; pick the Silky if you want the same style with a bit more substance around children. With us the price, the starter kit, and the aftercare are identical either way.
Weighing the two? See our Silky Terrier puppies, or message us your routine and we'll tell you straight.
Quick comparison
- Yorkie: 2 to 3.5 kg, finest coat, classic blue & tan
- Silky Terrier: 4 to 5 kg, sturdier, same low-shedding style
- Same price, same starter kit, same aftercare either way
Keeping a Yorkshire Terrier in an HDB flat
The Yorkshire Terrier is named on the HDB-approved breed list, so you can keep one in an HDB flat. HDB allows one dog of an approved breed per flat, and at 2 to 3.5 kg the Yorkie sits deep inside the small-breed rules. Every Yorkie we place has its dog licensing completed at purchase, so the paperwork is handled for you.
Is a Yorkshire Terrier HDB-approved? Yes, by name on the list. Just mind the one-dog-per-flat rule, and if you already have a dog, message us first so we can check your situation.
Read HDB's guidelines on keeping petsThe rules in brief
- The Yorkshire Terrier is named on the HDB-approved breed list
- One dog of an approved breed per HDB flat (AVS limits of ownership)
- Condo and landed homes: up to three dogs, subject to your estate's own pet rules

Grooming: Silk Is Beautiful and It Tangles
The Yorkie coat behaves like fine human hair: it barely sheds, and it tangles for a living. Kept long it needs daily combing and a genuine commitment; kept in the sensible puppy cut, which is what nearly every Singapore Yorkie wears, it needs a comb-through 2 to 3 times a week and a salon trim every 4 to 6 weeks.
The daily ten-second habits: a face check to keep hair out of the eyes (or the classic topknot if you keep it longer), and the tooth-brushing routine, which for this breed matters more than any coat care; more on that below. All the starting tools are in your kit.
Yorkie Health: What We Check Before You Take One Home
Every Yorkshire Terrier goes home vet-checked, vaccinated, dewormed, and microchipped. The Yorkie health points worth knowing: dental disease is the breed's biggest lifelong issue, a tiny jaw crowds teeth badly, so brushing starts day one, not after the first bad vet visit; tracheal collapse, the toy-breed windpipe weakness, which is why the harness rule is absolute; patellar luxation, the small-breed kneecap issue; and in very young puppies, low blood sugar, which regular small meals prevent.
Worth asking any seller about: liver shunt (portosystemic shunt) appears in Yorkie lines more than most breeds, and a proper vet check catches the signs early. Feeding is simple: your puppy comes with the food it is already eating, and any change should be gradual over a week. For portioning guidance see the puppy health checks explained guide.
The Truth About Teacup Yorkies
The Yorkie sits near the top of every "teacup" price list in Singapore, because the breed is already tiny and the market rewards "even tinier". We don't sell to that label. Dogs bred to be unusually small carry higher risks: fragile bones, worse dental crowding, collapsing tracheas, chronic low blood sugar, and shorter lives.
A healthy Yorkie at 2 to 3.5 kg already travels in a tote bag and naps in a shoebox. If a seller guarantees an adult weight below that range, treat the promise as a warning, not a feature.
Teacup red flags
- Guaranteed adult weight below 2 kg
- No mention of the parents' actual size
- "Teacup" or "micro" priced at a premium
Your Yorkie's First Week at Home
Day 0: we deliver, free, at a time that suits you, usually morning or evening. The playpen, bed, water, and toys are set up before your Yorkie explores the room, and we walk you through all 30+ starter-kit items in person. Learn more about how our free home delivery and setup works.
Days 1 to 3: keep it calm, warm and close. Tiny puppies chill easily under aircon, so a warm bed corner matters, along with a fixed feeding routine of regular small meals and the toilet pads where we placed them. Some night whimpering is normal adjustment.
Days 4 to 7: the routine sticks, and the terrier turns up. Book your free first lesson with an AVS-certified trainer this week; see what the free AVS-certified training lesson covers. For anything in between, you WhatsApp us.

Buying safely: verify any pet shop's AVS licence first
Before any deposit on a Yorkshire Terrier, search the seller on the AVS public registry of licensed pet shops. A seller who is not on it is not licensed, whatever the listing claims.
Curious Tails holds AVS pet shop licence AS24J00046. Check us first; an honest shop won't mind, and a genuine seller never will. Puppies sold outside licensed channels are often smuggled without vaccination, and buyers have been fined $7,000 for unknowingly purchasing one. Tiny breeds like the Yorkie are smuggled most often, so check twice here.

Yorkshire Terrier FAQs
How much does a Yorkshire Terrier cost in Singapore?
Yorkie prices in Singapore range widely, commonly $2,500 to $8,000, with imported and "teacup" listings at the top. At Curious Tails, Yorkshire Terrier puppies are $4,688 to $5,388, and that price already includes the $500+ starter kit, free home delivery and setup, and a free first training lesson with an AVS-certified trainer.
Is a Yorkshire Terrier HDB-approved?
Yes. The Yorkshire Terrier is named on the HDB-approved breed list, so you can keep one in an HDB flat. HDB allows one dog of an approved breed per flat, and we complete the dog licensing for you at purchase, so the paperwork is handled.
Do Yorkies shed? Are they good for allergies?
The Yorkie is one of the classic low-shedding breeds: its fine, silky coat grows like human hair and drops very little. That makes it a strong pick for allergy-sensitive homes, alongside the Maltese and the Poodle crosses. No dog is truly allergen-free, so spend time with one at our Balestier shop first if allergies are severe.
How big does a Yorkshire Terrier get?
Most Yorkies reach roughly 2 to 3.5 kg fully grown, standing about 18 to 23 cm at the shoulder. That is already one of the smallest breeds in the world; treat any "teacup Yorkie" promise of less with suspicion, because no honest seller can guarantee adult size and the health trade-offs of extreme miniaturisation are real.
Can a Yorkie be left alone while we are at work?
Moderately well. Yorkies are terriers, not velcro lapdogs: they bond hard but keep a busy, self-directed streak, and with a safe playpen, a settled routine, and things to do, most handle a working household. The management point is the voice; an under-stimulated Yorkie narrates the corridor, so early training matters.
Are Yorkshire Terriers good with children?
With calm, older children, yes; the bold personality is a hit. With boisterous toddlers, honestly, no: at 2 to 3.5 kg a Yorkie is delicate, and a fall or squeeze genuinely injures. For young families we usually point to the sturdier Cockapoo or Shih Tzu instead, and we will say so before you buy.
What is the difference between a Yorkshire Terrier and a Silky Terrier?
They are close cousins and easy to confuse, since the Silky was developed in Australia partly from Yorkshire Terriers, but they are two distinct breeds. The Yorkie is the smaller of the two at 2 to 3.5 kg, with a finer, longer, human-hair-like coat and a slightly softer, more lapdog nature. The Silky Terrier is a size up at 4 to 5 kg, sturdier, with a bit more working-terrier drive. Both are low-shedding and HDB-approved. If you want the tiniest silky-coated companion, the Yorkie is your dog; if you want a little more substance and spark, see our Silky Terrier puppies. We are happy to compare them in person.
What happens after I reserve a Yorkshire Terrier?
You place a deposit, and we board your puppy for free, food and lodging covered, until you're ready. Delivery is scheduled around your availability, and we set up the playpen and walk you through all 30+ starter-kit items before we leave.
