Yorkshire Terriers: A Big Breed in a Small Package?
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. They are a naturally intelligence dog and they have the unique capability to decipher and comprehend their surroundings. In addition to their superior intellectual capacity, Yorkshire Terriers are exceptionally loyal and loving dogs. They form lasting connections and attachment to their owners and love being a part of a loving family. Yorkies enjoy physical contact and spending time with their owners. While they love being a member of a warm, wonderful family, younger family members can make them nervous and can cause a Yorkshire Terrier to become nippy and aggressive toward younger children. Children who are taught how to behave calmly around Yorkies will have no problem with the terrier temperament. Strangely enough, Yorkshire Terriers are amazing guard dogs, offering protection and defending their homes and family without hesitation by barking loudly to warn against approaching strangers. Yorkshire terrier is not known to get alone especially well with other animals or breeds of dog. In order to best socialize the Yorkie with other animals it is best to begin when they are puppies to ensure they receive the proper social skills needed to interact in a positive manner. Whether in a big city apartment, or a large country estate, Yorkies are able to entertain themselves and can easily adapt to their immediate environment. They are a wonderful breed of dog for first time and veteran dog owners alike.

What is the history of a Yorkshire Terrier?
The Yorkshire Terrier originated in Yorkshire (and the adjoining Lancashire), a rugged region in northern England. In the mid-nineteenth century, workers from Scotlandcame to Yorkshire in search of work and brought with them several different varieties of small terriers. Breeding of the Yorkshire terrier was "principally accomplished by the people--mostly operatives in cotton and woolen mills--in the counties of Yorkshire and Lancashire." Details are scarce. Mrs. A. Foster is quoted as saying in 1886, "If we consider that the mill operatives who originated the breed...were nearly all ignorant men, unaccustomed to imparting information for public use, we may see some reason why reliable facts have not been easily attained." What is known is that the breed sprang from three different dogs, a male named Old Crab and a female named Kitty, and another female whose name is not known. The Paisley Terrier, a smaller version of the Skye Terrier that was bred for a beautiful long silky coat, also figured into the early dogs. Some authorities believed that the Maltese was used as well. "They were all originally bred from Scotch terriers (note: meaning dogs from Scotland, not today's Scottish Terrier) and shown as such...the name Yorkshire Terrier was given to them on account of their being improved so much in Yorkshire." Yorkshire Terriers were shown in a dog show category (class) at the time called "Rough and Broken-coated, Broken-haired Scotch and Yorkshire Terriers". Hugh Dalziel, writing in 1878, says that "the classification of these dogs at shows and in the Kennel Club Stud Book is confusing and absurd" in lumping together these different types. In the early days of the breed, "almost anything in the shape of a Terrier having a long coat with blue on the body and fawn or silver colored head and legs, with tail docked and ears trimmed, was received and admired as a Yorkshire Terrier". But in the late 1860s, a popular Paisley type Yorkshire Terrier show dog named Huddersfield Ben, owned by a woman living in Yorkshire, Mary Ann Foster, was seen at dog shows throughout Great Britain, and defined the breed type for the Yorkshire Terrier.
