BACKGROUND
The Yorkshire Terrier
was created around the middle of the 19th Century by
crossing a number of Terrier varieties that existed
at that time. This was done around the middle to
north of England, especially in the County of
Yorkshire, hence the name Yorkshire Terrier.
The
"early"
Yorkshire Terriers could be as large as 6kgs (14
lbs) and were used, like other Terrier breeds, to
kill rats.
Over the time
breeders produced a smaller, more
beautiful dog that was a household pet and show dog,
rather than a rat killer.
BREED PERSONALITY/CHARACTERISTICS/ TEMPERAMENT
Most Yorkshire
Terriers are alert, active and inquisitive. They can
be determined with a mind
of their own but are faithful and loyal to their
human family. They thrive on human companionship and
will happily be included in family activities. They
have a sense of fun and enjoy a game. Thanks to
their alertness, they make a good watchdog and will
bark if strangers come to the home.
Although they are of
small stature, they are generally a robust and
healthy little terrier.
They have the proportions of a normal dog but
in miniature.
Yorkshire Terriers
have a coat that does not shed or mould and they are
therefore a hypoallergenic (low allergy causing)
breed.
The coat is not weather resistant and so Yorkshire
Terriers should live indoors with periods outside
for exercise.
