Some more abou the Yorkie -
This charming and perky little breed originated in Yorkshire, England during the time of the Industrial Revolution (1760-1840). Scottish workers traveled to England to work in various factories and mines and brought this ancestor of the Yorkshire Terrier with them. The dog they brought was not as small as our present day Yorkshire Terrier. While in England and being mixed with a few other terrier breeds, is subsequently how the smaller Yorkshire Terrier, or Yorkie, came about. The first documentation of the Yorkshire Terrier in the United States was in 1872. This intelligent, confident, and playful little breed thinks he is bigger than he is, and sometimes has the personality to go with it. Yorkies are normally 8-9 inches high and typically weigh in at no more than 7 pounds. They are often 4-6 pounds but have been known to be from 12-15 pounds. Yorkies are a companion breed and do well with first time dog owners, but can develop separation anxiety if left alone too long. Due to their small size they are great for apartment living, but do need their exercise, and may be a bit yappy. Early training and socialization is necessary to teach them proper behavior, but they can be a challenge to house train. Though the Yorkie is on the petite size they are not a good pet for a family with young children. They are fine with other pets as long as they grow up together.
