History: The Yorkie
(Yorkshire Terrier) became a fashionable pet in the late Victorian era in
Yorkshire, England. It is said that they were bred from the Manchester Terrier,
Skye Terrier, Maltese, Paisley and Clydesdale Terrier. The Yorkshire Terrier
made their appearance in the United States in the early 1870s and today have
become one of the most popular toy breeds. Yorkie Breeder

Most
believe that the Yorkshire Terrier puppy is the
product of comingling Scottish and English terriers when
many Scots were displaced by the Industrial Revolution
and settled in England. Though pedigrees are not available
for the first Yorkshire Terrier ancestors, several breeds
have been suggested, including the Old English Black and
Tan, which is also considered the ancestor for the Welsh
Terrier and the Manchester Terrier, the Waterside Terrier,
the Clydesdale Terrier, and the Paisley Terrier. The
Scottish influence, brought in by the weavers during the
industrial revolution, are the same ancestors as the
Scottish Terrier, West Highland White Terrier, and Cairn
Terrier (all once one breed). Many have suggested that at
some time the Maltese, an old breed from Malta, may be in
the backgound of some as well.
The
original Yorkshire Terrier, known as the "Broken-Haired
Scotch Terrier" was a 12-to-14 pound dog with wire hair
whose intended purpose was the catching of rats and other
vermin that lived in small spaces.
In
1870, the breed was renamed the Yorkshire Terrier, after the
county of Yorkshire, England where the breed is
believed to have originated. The father of the breed is
considered to be Huddersfield Ben, who was born in 1865 and
died in 1871 from a carriage accident, the inbred offspring
of a mother and son. Huddersfield Ben was bred by Mr. W.
Eastwood Huddersfield. A multiple champion, Huddersfield Ben
set the foundation for what would develop into the modern
Yorkie.
Yorkshire terrier puppies, breed of
small, spirited
toy dog, classification used by
breeders and kennel clubs to designate very small breeds of
dogs kept as pets. Some Yorkies are selectively bred
diminutive forms of larger breeds and others are naturally
small. Yorkshire, England, in the mid-19th
cent. It stands about 9 in. (22.8 cm) high at the shoulder
and weighs from 4 to 7 lb (1.8–3.2 kg). Its long, straight,
glossy coat is finely textured and is dark steel blue and
tan in color. Although the Yorkshire Terrier puppy is a
"human-made" breed, precisely what dogs were used in its
creation remains largely a matter of speculation since no
breeding records were kept and the Yorkshire area contained
many popular toy and terrier types that could have been used
for crossbreeding.
The
Yorkshire Terrier puppy , though a toy breed, still retains
much of its Terrier ancestry in terms of personality.
Though Yorkie puppy personalities differ from dog to dog
generally Yorkies are Intelligent, Independent and Spunky.
Yorkie puppies specially males, are very territorial and are
known for their disregard for the limitations of their own
size. Yorkie puppies will often attack much larger
dogs despite their extreme size disadvantage. Yorkie puppies
typically get along well with cats or other dogs, and love
to play together in groups. However, they are still
terriers, and even an old, sedentary lap dog will eagerly
hunt rodents. Because Yorkshire terrier puppies are so
small, they are easily injured, so while Yorkie puppies will
get along very well with children, it can be dangerous for
the Yorkie puppy to keep it in a house with small or
abusive children.
Adult Yorkshire Terriers
Yorkies tend to develop cataracts in their
old age, but their small size limits the
effects of conditions such as arthritis.
There is also the possibility of
Trachea collapse, the cause of which is
thought by many to be partially genetic, and
partially caused by environment-
specifically, the strain an energetic Yorkie
puts on its neck when straining against its
collar. Most veterinarians recommend use of
a harness instead of a collar to help
prevent the chronic coughing caused by
partial trachea collapse. As with many
purebred dogs, the Yorkshire Terrier is
prone to certain genetic disorders.
Most common is the liver shunt (portosystemic
shunt). In this condition some of the dog's
blood bypasses the liver and as such does
not get cleaned of those toxins that the
liver is responsible for removing. A Yorkie
with this condition might exhibit some or
all of the following symptoms: small
stature, poor muscle development, behavioral
abnormalities, unresponsiveness, seizures,
and so on; however, if treated by a
veterinarian, the condition is most often
reversible in time.

famous Yorkshire Terriers
Smoky Yorkshire
Terrier puppy
Smoky was a Yorkshire
Terrier who belonged to William Wynne of Ohio. Mr. Wynne adopted Smoky while
serving with the 5th Air Force in the Pacific Theatre. Mr. Wynne trained
Smoky to perform various tricks to entertain himself and his comrades. Smoky
was later entered in Yank Magazines.
Smoky became a war dog
when she used her small size to her advantage and helped to ?run?
communication wire through a culvert that was under a runway. Without
Smoky's assistance, the runway would need to be excavated while the cable
was laid.
