Yorkshire Terriers and Yorkie puppies: The 4 paw guideYorkshire Terriers and Yorkie puppies seem oblivious to their size - always eager for adventure and mischief. They are busy, inquisitive, bold stubborn and can be aggressive to strange dogs and other animals - true to their terrier roots! Although they have a reputation for incessant barking, Yorkie puppies can easily be trained not to do this. The Yorkie was bred in the mid 19th century in the north of England, where miners needed a small, sturdy terrier to keep down the number of rats underground. This early dog was eventually refined by breeders to produce a smaller, prettier animal which was more of a fashion accessory than a worker! Yorkshire Terriers are a longhaired toy terrier whose blue and tan coat is parted on the face from the base of the skull to the end of the tail and hangs evenly and quite straight on each side of its body. The Yorkie is one of the worlds smallest dogs and should not exceed 7lbs in weight. Yorkie puppies are fully mature in two years, compact in size, sweet in nature and cheerful in character.
