Background Info For Yorkshire Terrier:
Beneath the dainty, glossy, floor-length coat of a Yorkshire Terrier beats the heart of a feisty, old-time terrier. Yorkies earned their living as ratters in mines and mills. Notably, only much later did they become the beribboned lapdogs of Victorian ladies.
The Yorkshire Terrier is a compact, toy-size terrier of no more than seven pounds. Notably, their crowning glory is a floor-length, silky coat of steel blue and a rich golden tan. Don’t let the Yorkie’s daintiness fool you. Tenacious, feisty, brave, and sometimes bossy, the Yorkie exhibits all the traits of a true terrier. Often named the most popular dog breed in various American cities, Yorkies pack lots of big-town attitude into a small but self-important package. They are favorites of urbanites the world over.
Yorkies are long-lived and hypoallergenic. Their coat is more like human hair than animal fur. Furthermore, they make fine little watchdogs. Certainly, this is a true ‘personality breed,’ providing years of laughs, love, and close companionship.
