Yorkshire terriers are a diminutive breed of dog that was developed in 1800 Yorkshire, England. Yorkshire Terriers, or yorkies, as they are affectionately referred as, are known for their long, silky coat, and small stature. Yorkshire Terriers are known for their long coats that are tan or blue in color, parted along the face and hangs silkily on either side of the body. While their hair is naturally silky it does require daily grooming and upkeep in order to keep the hair from matting. Yorkshire Terriers always remain small dogs; they rarely weigh over 7 pounds Yorkshire terriers popped up during the mid-nineteenth century when Scottish immigrants relocated to Yorkshire, England to look for new job opportunities. With them came several breeds of miniature terriers and the popular breed of Yorkshire Terriers was born! Yorkies were introduced to the United States in the late 1800’s. Yorkies became especially popular during the Victorian Period as the American people began to embrace Victorian society and rich culture. Yorkshire Terriers are genuine terriers and despite their small physique, they are known for their innate hunting instincts.
