History of the Yorkshire Terrier
Yorkies, as they are commonly known, are a combination of several types of small dogs, who were specifically bred to help catch rats and vermin in Yorkshire, England, during their Industrial Revolution, in the mid-1800’s. Yorkies are about 5-7 lbs and 6-8 inches tall. In the late 1800’s one of the names they were known as, before the Kennel Club recognized them as an individual breed, was the “Broken Haired Scottish Terrier.”
Terriers
Terriers are a group of breeds that were originally bred for hunting small game like the fox, otter, badger and small pests such as rats and mice. The name originates from the Middle French terrier, and before that, the Latin “terra”, meaning earth. These animals are usually small, with the largest breed being the Airedale Terrier, and have spunky, somewhat energetic personalities. Terrier breeds primarily originated in Britain. Terrier types include working, show and toy. Common terriers include the Yorkshire terrier, the Fox terrier, the Jack Russell terrier (“Eddie” from the television show “Frasier”) the Australian terrier and many more.
