Summary
About Yorkshire Terrier
The Yorkshire Terrier is a tiny, confident toy dog originally bred as a rat catcher in northern England. It has a fine, silky coat needing regular grooming, is lively, intelligent and often vocal. Yorkies bond closely with their families, need daily activity, and can live a long, active life.
About Alpine Dachsbracke
Compact, sturdy Austrian scent hound with a long body, short strong legs and a dense, weather‑resistant red coat. Calm and affectionate at home but driven by a strong hunting instinct, it needs plenty of exercise, nose work and consistent, positive training to thrive.
