Introduction
My little dog — a heartbeat at my feet.
~Edith Wharton

Yorkshire terriers are beautiful little dogs weighing approximately 7 pounds. They are popular pets and great companions with a “big” personality, despite their size.

They are also vivacious, intelligent, feisty and loving. Although stubborn from time to time, with the right training Yorkie’s can be the most adorable pet!

Yorkshire Terriers have an interesting history. This particular breed originated from Northern England, but don’t let its size fool you. This little dog packs lots and lots of love. A Terrier’s coat is quite beautiful and silky in shades of black, gray or even tan.
When Terriers started out they were used catch rats, but during the Victorian era they became show dogs and beautiful pets. Then after some years passed, people forgot about this small companion… but not for long. When world world II started, something amazing happened. Can you guess what it was?

Yorkie Doodle Dandy appeared… and because of her, everyone fell in love with the terrier all over again. Do you know who Yorkie doodle dandy was? She was a beautiful 4 pound terrier that served during the world war. She was found by an American soldier and for quite some time followed him on combat missions in the pacific, traversed the New Guinea jungle and even an Okinawa typhoon! Her owner, Wynne called her “An angel from a foxhole.”

This real life story tells you a little about a terrier’s personality: Their protective nature. This means Yorkie’s are not too fond of strangers (or other animals) and they can get a bit aggressive. And if they should see a squirrel, the rest is history as they say.

Yorkie’s have a tendency to feed off your emotions. So if you are protective of them and their environment, they will transfer those emotions to their personality and turn into a train wreck! This means they will see danger at every turn, and bark their little life away.

However, the good qualities of Terriers far outweigh the bad ones. For one thing, they love spending time with you. Being underfoot and basking in your warmth and affection is the best gift for a Terrier. So take this aspect of their personality must be considered.

Ultimately, Yorkie’s are beautiful and loyal pets with a high degree of intelligence. It may take some time to mold them to family life, but once their love and respect is earned, you will not find a more lovable and charming pet!
