The Yorkshire Terrier is a British breed of toy dog of terrier type. It is among the smallest of the terriers and indeed of all dog breeds, with a weight of no more than 3.2 kg. It originated in the nineteenth century in the English county of Yorkshire, for which it is named.  

Fun Facts About Yorkshire Terriers:

1. Yorkies are called the “Tomboy Toy.”  Don’t be fooled by this toy breed’s tiny stature—they are five to seven pounds of pure tomboy. 

2. The Yorkie’s coat has a similar texture to human hair.  Yorkies are known for their long, flowing, silky coats, which swish around the show ring.

3. Yorkies have a blue-collar background.  Sure, today they may wear bows in their top knots and their self-important air may make them seem like they have royal roots, but Yorkies have a rather unglamorous background of catching rats and other vermin in underground tunnels.

5. One Yorkie was a war hero. In World War II, a Yorkie named Smoky is credited with saving the lives of soldiers by dragging a communications cable through an 8-inch-wide, 60-foot-long drainage culvert. She is also thought to be the world’s first therapy dog, visiting wounded soldiers in hospitals. Smoky was found by an American soldier in 1944 in a Papua New Guinea jungle.  When he brought the little dog back to the barracks, U.S. Army Corporal William Wynne took her under his wing,  later writing a book about Smoky called Yorkie Doodle Dandy. There are six U.S.-based memorials honoring Smoky, including one in AKC’s Museum of the Dog, and one international memorial in Australia.

6. Yorkies aren’t afraid of the big city (when trained properly).  Even a dog as small as a Yorkie can succeed in the Big Apple and other large urban environments. In fact, Yorkies routinely make the top of the list of NYC’s most popular breeds.
