There is a Chinese proverb called "dogs take the rats and take care of things", but this was not the case in the eyes of British workers in the mid-19th century. Britain in the mid-19th century underwent the first industrial revolution and became the "factory of the world", with capitalists dominating society. The workers at that time were very miserable, living in cold and dark mines and dark urban mills all year round, and in addition to dealing with machinery every day, the most annoying rats were exposed to. Rats often steal workers' food, spread disease, and torture workers. At that time, there was a kind of dog that stepped forward to eliminate rats for the workers, which solved a big problem for the workers. This dog is the Yorkshire dog we are introducing today.
The Yorkshire Dog is native to Yorkshire in the northeast of England, so it is also known as the Yorkshire or Joseph. Yorkshire dogs are small, only small chihuahuas. Although small in size, it does not affect its brave, loyal character, coupled with the Yorkshire dog's agile and enthusiastic movements, which may be the reason why it is good at catching mice.
Due to the long hair of the Yorkshire dog, the grooming pattern is also relatively rich and sticky, and the overall image gives people a lively and cute, docile and sensible feeling, so that it has always been loved by people. It is said that as early as the Victorian era, the Yorkshire dog was a very fashionable pet, loved by the majority of pet owners. At that time, having a Yorkshire dog will definitely make you face it. Even today, raising a Yorkshire dog and dressing it up beautifully, when taking it shopping, it can definitely attract the attention of many young sisters, which can be called a sister artifact.
People who don't know much about small dogs may confuse Yorkshire dogs with Shisch and Schnauzers because they really look too similar. Many unscrupulous merchants will also breed Yorkshire dogs into teacup dogs for sale. Nowadays, many teacup dogs on the market are illegally bred by illegal merchants, and here we also remind our friends to polish their eyes and refuse cruel harm.
The first treatment dog in history was a Yorkshire dog named Smoggi, who was once a war hero. During World War II, an American soldier bought the Yorkshire dog and kept it with him. Smuggi also went to the battlefield with his master nearly 200 times, and relied on his vigilance and keen hearing to help his master avoid danger many times. Smegi's story was so moving that after his death, many places built monuments for Smegi.
As mentioned earlier, Yorkshire dogs are small in size, so they are perfect for breeding in apartments. If you can't have a large dog in your home, the Yorkshire dog is also a good choice.
