Once upon a time, in the county of Yorkshire, England, there lived a small but mighty breed of dog. These dogs were known as the Yorkshire Terrier. They were bred by Scottish weavers to hunt and kill rats and mice that had infested their cotton mills.
The Victorian Era saw a shift in the purpose of these dogs from working class to luxury lapdogs for royalty and upper class societies. They were treasured for their cuddly natures and sprightly personalities.
Yorkshire Terriers are known for their long, silky coats which require extreme care when grooming. They come in a variety of colors including blue and tan, black and tan, and blue and gold.
These tiny dogs have big hearts and make great companions for people of all ages. They are intelligent, loyal, courageous, and loving animals who will bring joy to any home they enter.
