Yorkshire, England
Also known as Yorkies, it's thought they were bred from various Scottish terrier breeds and local dogs to work in the Northern English mines and mills, catching rats and mice and, of course, providing companionship.
The Yorkshire Terrier was created by working men of north England, who developed the breed for catching the terrible rats and mice that infested clothing mills and mine shafts. These hunting dogs could penetrate into badger and fox burrows. The breed is not very old, but its origins are not entirely certain. However, it seems likely that Scotsmen seeking work in the woolen mills of Yorkshire brought with them various types of terrier, including the Skye Terrier, Dandie Dinmont, Manchester Terrier, Maltese and the now extinct Clydesdale. These were then crossed with local types, such as the long- haired Leeds Terrier. At first, the Yorkie was a much bigger animal than the one we see today, but by selectively breeding the smallest individuals, the dog was gradually miniaturized over the years.
They were made into a fashion dog. Women carried these little dogs in their bags and under their arms. The Yorkshire Terrier was first recognized by the American Kennel Club in 1885.
These tiny terriers come from Yorkshire in the north of England. They were bred to hunt down and kill mice and rats in narrow openings in coal mines. Therefore, although the Yorkie is quite small, it is a working dog, not a lap dog. It has a terrier's temperament, which is to say that it can be stubborn, independent, and energetic.
Yorkshire terriers origanate from the UK. they were used as rat catchers in Victorian times.
