History: The Yorkshire Terrier was developed in northern England during the Industrial Revolution as a breed to work in the various mills, mines, and factories as a rat and mice exterminator. The breed was larger in its early history, but has since been selectively bred to a considerably smaller size. As their size decreased, Yorkies became more and more of a companion dog than a working dog and was seen in the laps of many wealthy women. By 1880, the Yorkshire Terrier had made its way to the United States, where it quickly became a favorite among the upper-class. The Yorkshire Terrier was recognized by the American Kennel Club (AKC) in 1885 and has since become a popular companion for many families.

Temperament: Yorkshire Terriers are brave, energetic, and adventurous dogs that make outstanding companions, especially for someone who is willing to become their "pack leader." They love attention and don't do well if left alone for extended periods of time. Yorkies can have a range of personalities. Some are cuddly and laid-back, while others are bold and mischievous. Yorkies have a tendency to become a bit stubborn if not taught boundaries during puppyhood. Nevertheless, these dogs learn quickly and are easy to train, and they respond best to positive praise and food rewards. These dogs are naturally suspicious of strangers and other pets, so early socialization is very important. While some Yorkies bark a lot, they can easily be trained not to.
