History:
One of the most glamorous and popular of the toy breeds, it is amazing
to believe that it was originally bred to control rats in Yorkshire
mines and cotton mills. The Yorkie is the product of cross-breeding
several types of Scottish and English terriers, as well as the Maltese.
Prior to 1900, the Yorkie was heavier and larger weighing 12-14 lbs.
Selective breeding has brought it down to its current size. Originally a
fearless little ratter, by 1875, the breed became popular with ladies of
wealth in both Britain and the U.S.
Temperament:
Always eager for adventure, the Yorkie doesn't know it's a small dog.
They have been described as inquisitive and stubborn, sometimes
aggressive to strange dogs. They tend to exercise themselves around the
home.
Maintenance:
Their long coats require brushing or combing every other day. .

Did
You Know? |
|
Because of their diminutive size Yorkies tend to be pampered to
the point of spoiling. They are as tough as any other terrier
and very willing to learn given the chance. |
