History of the Yorkie

Picture
A Look Back 
Named  for the English city from which they originally hail, Yorkshire Terriers were  used in the nineteenth century to catch rats in clothing mills. Surprisingly  enough, in its beginnings, the Yorkie  belonged to the working class, especially the weavers; in fact, facetious  comments were often made about how the dogs' fine, silky coats were the  ultimate product of the looms. Eventually,  the breed left the workforce and became a companion animal to families of  European high society.

Right Breed for You?
 Yorkies are easily adaptable  to all surroundings, travel well and make suitable pets for many homes. Due to  their small size, they require limited  exercise, but need daily interaction  with their people. Their long coat  requires regular brushing.
