The Yorkshire
Terrier (Yorkie) was originally bred in |
|
|
the mid
nineteenth century in Yorkshire, England. |
|
A rugged
region in the northern part of the country. |
|
The Yorkie was
bred at that time to kill mice, rats and |
|
other vermin
in small places as well as used for |
|
specific
hunting tasks because of the breed's |
|
eagerness to
take on challenges. |
|
| |
|
 |
|
|
It was late in
the Victorian Era that the Yorkie was |
|
introduced to
America and quickly increased in |
|
popularity
among Americans by the 20th century |
|
and has
remained that way since. |

The Yorkie is
of the Toy Breed group and weighs |
|
4-7 lbs. with
a height of 8-9 inches. Yorkies are |
|
born with a
black color coat which gradually |
|
turns to a
blue and tan coloration as they mature. |
|
|
|
|
| |
A true and
loyal companion, the Yorkie is highly |
 |
|
affectionate,
lively and very intelligent. The Yorkie |
|
gets along
well with other pets as well as children |
|
and are very
playful. They have a strong affinity |
|
toward their
owner and are quick learners which |
|
makes them
very easy to train and are known to |
|
understand a
new command after 15 repetitions. |
