This spunky little breed was developed in Yorkshire, England. Their original purpose was to thin out the rats which occupied the coal mines of England - they were highly valued and very skillful in this role. Information on how the Yorkie was developed is a bit sketchy but it is most likely that many breeds were crossed in the process. Breeds such as the Skye Terrier, Waterside Terrier, Maltese, Paisley Terrier, Clydesdale Terrier, Welsh Terrier and The Old English Black and Tan are thought to have been used. The name "Yorkshire Terrier" was attached to the breed in 1870 - and has continued to grow in popularity ever since. Yorkshire Terrier Appearance Yorkies are a small package but never weak. They are well balanced, athletic, muscular and swift on their feet. It's a common sight to see Yorkies strutting about the house full of confidence, with their heads held high. They have brilliant dark "intelligent" eyes which are full of expression. For many people the most outstanding feature of the Yorkie is their beautiful soft silky coat. Yorkshire Terrier puppies start out with a black and tan coat which soon develops into a brilliant flowing steely blue. Another bonus is that this coat sheds very little, but does require regular grooming and brushing to keep it in prime condition. If you or any of your family members suffer from any dog related allergies then a Yorkie would be a good choice for you.
