BREED PERSONALITY/CHARACTERISTICS/ TEMPERAMENT
(2).The Yorkshire Terrier is a lovely small “lap dog” and prefers to be around you most of the time. They are a true little Terrier and a loyal companion. Most Yorkshire Terriers are alert, active and inquisitive. In some cases they can be determined with a mind of their own but are faithful and loyal to their human family. They thrive on human companionship and will happily be included in family activities. They have a sense of fun and enjoy a game. Thanks to their alertness, they make good watchdogs and will bark if strangers approach the home. Although they are of small stature, they are generally a robust and healthy little terrier.
They have the courage of a large dog but are small. Yorkshire Terriers have a coat that does not shed and are therefore a hypoallergenic (low allergy causing) breed. They love comfort and snuggling on soft pillows or on your lap. Yorkie's have hair not coats and therefore their hair is not weather resistant like some other breeds. Yorkshire Terriers should live indoors with some periods outside for exercise. They are ideal for apartment living or homes with small backyards. Surprisingly, this fashionable little breed is over a hundred years old.

CARE REQUIREMENTS
Benefit of the Toy breed.
Benefit of the Toy breed.
The Yorkshire Terrier has very fine hair. It is similar to human hair and does not shed like most other breeds .
The Yorkshire Terrier's coat will generally grow to the ground and needs to be brushed and combed every day to keep it free of tangles. The hair on the head needs to be tied up in a ponytail with a rubber band or bow to keep it out of the eyes. If a person doesn't show their dog and wants less work there are easy ways to keep your Yorky looking good by shortening (cutting) its hair or giving it a Silky trim.

(4). Yorkshire Terriers are generally robust little - dogs, they will happily go for a walk with their owners. But if the backyard is of sufficient size, then adequate exercise can be gained by running round in the backyard without the necessity of being taken for a walk in the street.

COMPATIBILITY WITH OTHER PETS
(5). Yorkshire Terriers generally live happily with other breeds of dogs as long as the dog is of similar size. Yorkshire Terriers will get along with a large dog but because of their size difference could easily be unintentionally injure while playing.
IDEAL OWNER'S
The Yorkshire Terrier is suitable for people of all ages. It is a good little family dog but needs supervision around young children. This is because a young child could easily unintentionally injure a Yorkshire Terrier. The most important issue when considering owning a Yorkshire Terrier is whether you have adequate time to look after and socialise the dog. Like most dogs, it is not good for a Yorkshire Terrier's temperament, to be left alone for long periods of time. If everyone in the household is away from 9 am to 5 pm then it is best to get 2 dogs so that they have company and wont get up to mischief.

History
An initiative of the NATIONAL PROMOTIONS COMMITTEE
The Yorkshire Terrier was created around the middle of the 19th Century by crossing a number of Terrier varieties that existed at that time. This was done around the middle to north of England, especially in the County of Yorkshire, hence the name Yorkshire Terrier.
The "early" Yorkshire Terriers could be as large as 6kgs (14 lbs.) and were used, like other Terrier breeds, to kill rats.
Over the time breeders produced a smaller, more beautiful dog that was a household pet and show dog, rather than a rat killer.

ORIGINS: A another version of History !
Britain is the home of the Yorkshire Terrier. It was probably the first "man made designer Toy dog" to be produced. Which began in England 1859. The Yorkshire Terrier looks like a long coated classic lap toy dog today. One of the smallest toy dog with a big personality and a feisty nature, also a little watchdog, by definition a small friendly companion. He is easy to train and because of his small size, he's easy to carry around.
