Breed Spotlight: Yorkshire Terrier

From the dirty streets of Victorian London to Best in Show at Westminster, The Yorkshire Terrier is a cantankerous little canine with a personality that is larger than life. Hypoallergenic, compact and delightfully intelligent, Yorkies are the perfect city-dwelling companion and the most popular dog breed in Louisiana

Seven pounds of silky floor-length fur, the Yorkshire Terrier’s elegant disposition would not be out of place on the lap of a palace-dwelling royal. Don’t be fooled - the Yorkshire Terrier” may be a toy-size pooch, but the diminutive little canine possesses a tenacious, often feisty temperament.

Did You Know?

A Yorkie named Smoky saved the lives of soldiers by dragging a communications cable through a teeny tiny drainage culver? Smokey was also the world’s first therapy dog - after her service in Papua New Guinea, Smokey visited wounded soldiers in hospitals. Today there are six memorials honoring Smoky in the United States and one international memorial in Australia.

Dogs for Sale in Louisiana

Are you looking for Yorkshire Terrier puppies for sale in Louisiana? Well you’re in luck - Louisiana is one of the best states in the country to buy, rescue or adopt a puppy. The Yorkshire Terrier may be the most popular breed in Louisiana, but the Golden Retriever and the French Bulldog are not far behind.

Whether you’re visiting Louisiana to find Golden Retriever puppies for sale or to take your Yorkie on a classic bayou adventure, you’ll find Louisiana has more than enough dog-friendly activities to keep you busy.

But don’t run off to New Orleans just yet. Before you take your dog to Louisiana you should consult the following state and local dog laws so that you don’t run into trouble when you get there.

Do I Need to Vaccinate My Puppy in Louisiana?

Yes. According to La. Admin Code. tit. 51, pt. III, § 103, “No person shall own, keep or have in his custody a dog, cat, or ferret over three months of age that has not been vaccinated against rabies by a licensed veterinarian.”

Louisiana state law also requires every dog owner to initially vaccinate their dog with a series of two vaccinations - one to be administered at three months of age, another administered one year after the initial vaccination. Dog owners must also administer subsequent booster vaccines to ensure there are no lapses in immunity from Rabies.

Does Louisiana Have Leash Laws?

Yes. LSA-R.S. 3:2771 clearly states, “no person shall permit any dog in his or her possession to run at large on any unenclosed land, or trespass upon any enclosed or unenclosed lands of another.”

Do I Need a Dog License in Louisiana?

It depends. LA R.S. 3:2731 states, “the governing bodies of all parishes and municipalities may impose license taxes on all dogs, enact ordinances for the regulation of dogs running at large, and maintain pounds for the impounding of dogs.”

In other words, whether or not you need to license your dog in Louisiana depends entirely upon the parish or city in which you reside. The vast majority of the counties in Louisiana have some sort of dog licensing law in place. That’s why it’s always a good idea to check with your local government to ensure your dog complies with all local ordinances.

Does Louisiana Require Dogs To Be Harnessed in the Car?

No. As of January 2020, Louisiana does not have a law requiring dogs to wear seat belts or be secured within the vehicle during transportation. Regardless of state law, it’s best to keep dogs restrained and out of the front seat. Dogs who insist on climbing into the front seat should be placed in the back, in a crate. If your dog’s crate doesn’t fit in the car, you should invest in a barrier to keep them out of the front seat.
