If you are looking for a tiny dog with the spirit of a much
bigger terrier, the Yorkshire Terrier most certainly fits this
description. Despite the Yorkshire Terrier’s tiny size of just a
few pounds, this dog is lively and thinks of himself as much
larger than he is.
The Yorkie’s background goes back to the 18th century. During
this time of the Industrial Revolution in England, many Scotsmen
left their country for the south. They looked for work in the
mills in England. They brought their families and also their
dogs. The dogs they brought to England during this period were
Skye Terriers, Paisley Terriers and Clydesdale Terriers. The
dogs ranged weight of 6 pounds to nearly 20 pounds. All of these
dogs were heavily coated. Some of them had a silky texture. All
of them carried blue-tan or gray coat colors.
One of the most common breeds in Yorkshire, England at the time
was the Waterside Terrier. The Waterside Terrier was a blue-gray
dog with a long coat. The size of this dog was between 6 and 20
pounds. It was a combination of the Skye Terrier, Paisley
Terrier and Clydesdale Terrier and formed the present-day
Yorkshire Terrier. This Yorkshire Terrier of today has a long,
beautiful coat with silky steel blue and tan colors. The
Yorkshire Terrier is one of the smallest dogs in the world and
one of the most popular toy breeds.
Weavers who worked in the mills liked the Yorkshire Terriers
because of their ability to kill rats as quickly as a terrier,
but was small enough to carry in their pockets when they went to
rat-killing competitions. The weavers desired a small size of
the breed, but also ones with the toughness and intelligence of
the terrier. This may account for the attitude much bigger than
the actual size a Yorkshire Terrier still possesses today.
Yorkies were being shown in England by the early 1850s. The
weight fell between 5 and 18 pounds. The classes they were shown
in were: Broken-haired Scotch, Scotch Terriers, Blue and Fawn
Terriers or Yorkshire Terriers. At the time the English divided
the approved breeds at the time into two groups: The Sporting
Group and the Non-Sporting Group. The Yorkshire breed was placed
in the Non-Sporting Group. However, the dogs were still shown in
the various classes of Scotch Terriers, Blue and Fawn Terriers
among whatever other classes the dog seemed to fit into. The
English Kennel Club recognized the breed as the Yorkshire
Terrier and placed it in the Toy Group by 1886. The Yorkshire
Terrier Club of England was formed in 1898. The Yorkie still
reigns in the top ten breeds in popularity in Britain.
The breed became quickly known in England and had numerous
supporters. The “Father of the Yorkshire Terrier” was a dog
owned by J. Forster and bred by Mr. Eastwood of Huddersfield.
The dog’s name was Huddersfield Ben. Huddersfield Ben sired
numerous champions for other kennels.
The first Yorkie whelped in the United States was in 1872.
American shows began in 1887. The breed classes were divided by
weight: under 5 pounds and over 5 pounds. Eventually it was
decided to have one weight class for all Yorkies with weight
between 3 and 7 pounds. There were just too few entries of the
larger sizes to have two different classes. The Yorkshire
Terrier Club of America was formed in 1951.
The Yorkshire Terrier is a very popular breed in the United
States. Many breeders have contributed to the breed through
excellent breeding and outstanding wins. The Yorkshire Terrier
places in the top ten breeds in popularity of the AKC breeds. It
also ranks as the number-one Toy Dog in America. The little
Yorkshire Terrier remains a great favorite to many people.
