Yorkshire Terrier Breed Information: The Yorkshire Terrier, also known as the Yorkie, originates from Yorkshire, a rugged region of Northern England, where they were used to hunt vermin in the textile mills and coal mines in the 1870's. The Yorkshire Terrier quickly became a popular pet in the late Victorian Era. The breed was introduced to America in 1872, as Americans embraced Victorian customs, they too embraced the Yorkie. Today, the Yorkshire Terrier is the second most popular breed in the United States. The Yorkie is a brave little dog, highly energetic and eager for adventure. They are demanding and require lots of human attention! While they may be leery of strangers, they are very affectionate with members of their own family. This Toy Breed makes an excellent watchdog, defending its territory. Due to their true terrier heritage, Yorkies can be aggressive toward strange dogs and smaller animals, so they must be socialized at an early age. Unaware of their small size, a Yorkie may even challenge larger, tougher dogs. Unfortunately, their bold nature and self confidence may get them into trouble, as small dogs can be seriously injured. For similar reasons, Yorkies do not make suitable pets for very young children. While this breed can be a bit stubborn, they are generally responsive to commands and easy to train. The Yorkie sheds little to no hair and requires regular grooming and trimming of their long, silky coat.Yorkie Puppies For Sale!
