Origin Description

The little dog breed known as the Yorkshire Terrier —or Yorkie—has its origins in Yorkshire, England, in the nineteenth century.

Yorkies were famous for their tiny size, speed, and dogged perseverance for hunting rats in the Yorkshire coal mines and textile mills. This made them great at getting into tight places and getting rid of vermin.
