Yorkshire Terrier, breed of toy dog bred in Lancashire and Yorkshire, England, from a number of other terriers, principally the Skye and the Manchester terriers. It was first exhibited at a dog show in England in 1861, and the first definite use of its present name was in 1870. The dog was a favorite pet of the English aristocracy in the last quarter of the 19th century; it was first known in the United States in 1872. The early Yorkies was much bigger in size than what we breed today.

Description: It has a small, flat head; small V-shaped ears; medium-size dark eyes; a compact body; and straight legs covered with tan or golden-tan hair.
The Yorkshire terrier has a coat of long, glossy hair of silky texture, dark steel blue from the back of the skull to the root of the tail. The head is a golden tan and the chest is a bright tan. The Yorkshire terrier weighs up to about 3 kg (7 Ib).

The Yorkshire Terrier seems oblivious of its small size. It is ever eager for adventure and trouble. This little dog is highly energetic, brave, loyal and clever. Affectionate with its master, but sometimes suspicious of strangers. It can be aggressive to strange dogs and small animals. In other words, it has true Terrier heritage. They do best with older, considerate children. Yorkies are easy to train, although they can sometimes be stubborn. The breed is demanding and dependant and needs a lot of human attention. The Yorkie is an excellent watchdog, defending its territory in no uncertain manner. They can get snappish if surprised, frightened or over-teased, but are usually very sweet and loving. They can be difficult to housebreak. These little dogs should not be over-protected, for they may become neurotic. The Yorkie likes to bark, but it can easily be taught not to do so.
