Yorkie Puppies for Sale

The adorable Yorkshire Terrier is named after the English city where he originated. They were primarily used in clothing mills to catch rats during the 19th century. It may surprise many people to learn that the Yorkie, as they are affectionately called, were a part of the working class, particularly the weavers. Many playful comments were made regarding the silky, fine coat of the dogs and how they were the definitive result of the weaving looms. Ultimately, these dogs traded in the workforce to become companions to high society families in Europe.

The Yorkshire Terrier comes in a small package but with a huge personality. Their nature is that of terriers, but they are considered to be part of the Toy Group. These little dogs are determined, brave, energetic, and curious. Their coats are long and luxurious and come in colors of tan and blue. This loveable breed is one of the most popular according to AKC statistics.

Yorkies are great all around pets for many homes. They adapt easily to their surroundings and love to travel. Because they are small breeds, they do not need lots of exercise. However, they do need to interact daily with their humans to stay happy. In addition, regular brushing is required of their long coat but that is only another way to spend time with your Yorkie.
