Yorkshire Terrier
Tiny British dog
A Yorkshire Terrier is a small breed of dog with a long, silky coat, typically tan and steel-blue.
Originally bred in northern England to catch rats in textile mills, Yorkies became fashionable companion dogs.
Despite their diminutive size, they tend toward bold, spirited temperaments: Her Yorkshire Terrier barked at dogs ten times his size.
Often shortened to Yorkie.
