The Yorkshire Terrier
hails from Northern England where he had the job of keeping down the rat
population in coal pits and cotton mills.
He was also used to compete in
rat-killing contests.
The original Yorkie was twice the weight of today's
terrier, but since he has been bred down in size, the Yorkshire Terrier has become
the most popular Toy breed in England.

One of the world's
smallest dogs, the Yorkie today weighs no more than 7 pounds. His long,
straight, silky coat is believed to be inherited from Maltese ancestors.
Puppies are born almost black and lighten to a steel-blue by twelve months
old. The Yorkie has a tan-coloured head and legs. Daily brushing is
required.
Tiny but tough, the Yorkshire Terrier
has been described as "a big dog personality in a small dog
body". He will make an alert watchdog. As a true terrier, the Yorkie is lively,
brave, and spirited. Although he is affectionate and cheerful in
disposition, the Yorkie, like many smaller dogs, does not tolerate the
rough-housing common with very young children.
His small size makes him an ideal
companion in even the smallest accommodation. Although his activity level
is high, running around the house should provide enough exercise, making
him the perfect pet for the stay-at-home. He is a fast learner and easily
trained. Like other terriers, he will benefit from early obedience
training and socialization.
