Yorkshire Terrier
Previous Breed: Wirehaired Pointing Griffon
"The Yorkshire Terrier, well known for long flowing tresses, is a tiny but tough breed. Originally used to hunt rats, the Yorkie is a popular active pet. The Yorkshire Terrier was one of the top 10 breeds for the year 2008. Click here for the complete story on Top Dog Breeds of 2008.
History
As Scottish weavers migrated from Scotland to England in the mid 19th century, they brought along various terriers used to hunt rats. Over time, these terriers were bred together until the Yorkshire Terrier was developed. Originally, the breed was called the "broken-haired scotch terrier." In 1870, a reporter at a dog show stated that the breed should be renamed the Yorkshire Terrier since most of the breed development occurred in the town of Yorkshire. The breed was originally used as a working dog but became a fashionable pet in England in the late Victorian era. In 1872, the Yorkie made his entrance into the United States and has since been a favorite.
Appearance and Size
The Yorkshire Terrier is a member of the toy breed group. The ears are erect and the tail is docked. The best-known feature of the breed is the long flowing hair coat, which requires constant care. The long hair on the head is usually tied on top with a bow to prevent the hair from getting in the face and eyes. The hair coat is typically dark steel blue complimented with shades of tan. The Yorkshire Terrier stands eight inches at the shoulder and weighs three to seven pounds.
Personality
Yorkshire Terriers are excellent watchdogs, readily alerting their family when strangers approach. In comparison, females tend to be better watchdogs than males. Male Yorkies tend to let the females do all the work. Yorkies willingly share their homes and families with other breeds. They are primarily indoor dogs but, since they are terriers at heart, they can live a rugged outdoor terrier life. With proper care and attention, they can live anywhere.

Yorkshire Terrier
The Yorkshire Terrier is a small dog breed of Terrier type, developed in the 1800s in the historical area of Yorkshire in England. The defining features of the breed are its small size and its silky blue and tan coat. The breed is nicknamed Yorkie and is placed in the Toy Terrier section of the Terrier Group by the Fédération Cynologique Internationale and in the Toy Group or Companion Group by other kennel clubs, although all agree that the breed is a terrier. A winning showdog and a popular companion dog, the Yorkshire Terrier has also been part of the development of other breeds, such as the Australian Silky Terrier. They are not good dogs for children because they are very fragile. They are the second most popular breed of dog and are sold at a high price.The Yorkshire Terrier originated in Yorkshire (and the adjoining Lancashire), a rugged region in northern England.In the mid-nineteenth century, workers from Scotland came to Yorkshire in search of work and brought with them several different varieties of small terriers. Breeding of the Yorkshire terrier was "principally accomplished by the people--mostly operatives in cotton and woolen mills--in the counties of Yorkshire and Lancashire."Details are scarce. Mrs. A. Foster is quoted as saying in 1886, "If we consider that the mill operatives who originated the breed...were nearly all ignorant men, unaccustomed to imparting information for public use, we may see some reason why reliable facts have not been easily ...
KSPR Humane Society Yorkshire Terriers Rescued from Alleged Puppy Mills
Nearly 100 dogs rescued from the Ozarks last week are recovering in a Humane Society of Missouri facility in St. Louis. www.kspr.com Last Friday, Greene County authorities seized 93 dogs from what they call a deplorable puppy mill. The owners have signed the animals over to the Humane Society of Missouri. The rescued Yorkshire Terriers were shaved and bathed after they were saved from cages on a Pleasant Hope property. "In some cases performing the exam was difficult because there was so much matting they were like little mummies," says Steven Schwartz, Humane Society of Missouri Director of Veterinary Services. Schwartz says the severe matting caused bones to form abnormally. "Many of their kneecaps are dislocated," Schwartz says. Underneath the matted feces Schwartz says he found more problems. He says the vast majority had skin infections and open wounds. It took a lot of work to groom the 93 dogs. After shaving half of them veterinarians removed more than 50 pounds of matted feces and fur. Schwartz says malnourishment caused severe dental disease. "It's affecting their ability to chew food," Schwartz says. Many dogs will get multiple surgeries but recovery doesn't stop there. Humane Society members say each dog also needs socialization. "All they can do is bark and spin in their cages because they want attention. Humane Society of Missouri Director of Adoption Center Cyndi Nason says, They've never had that. Nason says many dogs dont even know what grass is. Even ...
