Originating in the UK in the 1800's the Yorkshire Terrier is small (only 23 cms high) but it is an alert and confident little dog. Developed by miners in the West Riding of Yorkshire for ratting the Yorkshire is an amalgam of the Skye, Dandie Dinmont and Maltese Terrier. The long silky coat of the Yorkshire is a steely blue on the body with areas of golden tan on the head although new born pups are black in colour. The Yorkie is also known as the broken haired Scottish Terrier.
