Yorkshire Terrier puppies in Kolkata

A vaccinated Yorkshire Terrier puppy costs ₹18,000–₹30,000 in Kolkata as of August 2026. Puppies with good coat colour and structure from registered parents sit at the upper end.

Tracheal collapse is common in the breed — the windpipe cartilage weakens, and a collar pulling on the throat accelerates it. A harness spreads the load across the chest instead. This is not optional for a Yorkie, and it costs the same as a collar.

Not especially. At two to three kilograms they are genuinely fragile and they dislike rough handling. They suit adult households or families with older children who understand how to handle a small dog.

Better than most long-coated toys. The coat is a single silky coat with no dense undercoat, so it carries far less warmth than it appears to. Kept in a short clip they are comfortable year round. They feel the cool January mornings more than the summer.

In full coat, daily brushing. Most owners here keep a short "puppy cut", which reduces it to twice a week and suits the climate. Either way, keep the hair trimmed out of the eyes and clean the face after meals.

Small measured meals three times daily to four months, then twice. Budget ₹900–₹1,600 a month. Very young Yorkies can crash their blood sugar if a meal is missed, so keep to a schedule in the first few months.

They are intelligent but carry real terrier stubbornness, and house-training typically takes longer than with a larger breed. Patience matters more than experience. Short reward-based sessions and crate training work well.

Yes — they are alert and vocal, and bold well beyond their size. Early work on a "quiet" cue is worth the effort in a flat. They make surprisingly effective little watchdogs.

Luxating patella, tracheal collapse, dental disease — near-universal by middle age without brushing — and portosystemic liver shunt. Ask about patellas, and start weekly tooth brushing from the first month.

DHPPi at six to eight weeks, boosters at ten to twelve and fourteen to sixteen weeks, anti-rabies from twelve weeks, deworming from two weeks — on a card with dates and batch numbers. KCI registration where the pedigree qualifies.
