The Yorkshire Terrier

The beautiful, feisty Yorkie acts more like a tough terrier than a delicate toy breed. Despite the luxurious, shiny coat, the Yorkie has a working-class attitude, a fondness for chasing small animals, a big-dog bark, and super-sized self-confidence. Then again, the Yorkie is not above riding in a fancy pet tote or wearing a pretty ribbon, either. The Yorkshire Terrier encompasses the best of the terriers and the toy breeds in one gorgeous little package.
