Yorkshire Terriers were first discovered around the 1850s and derive their name from yorkshire, northeast England.
The Industrial Revolution brought not only the rise of busy production lines and factories, but also the Scottish to work in England, and they also brought Clydesdale or the Peris Terrier.
Dog breed experts believe the Paisley Terrier is used to catch rats and other pests that dot crowded factories and mills.
Yorkshire's ancestors include the Paisley Terrier and the English Terrier, the Black-Brown Terrier and the Skye Terrier, a blue-gray long-haired terrier , the Water's Edge Terrier , which may have also been involved in crossbreeding.
Weavers in Scotland were proud of their strong beagles, small enough to squeeze into the nooks and crannies of textile mills to hunt rodents.
Some joked that Yorkshire's long, silky coat was probably a product of a loom.
Britain's first Yorkshire Terrier Club was founded in 1872.
The British Kennel Club recognized the breed in 1874.

Yorkshire had long, silky smooth hair, and a lot of ghost ideas lurked in his little head. As a former mousetrap from Yorkshire in northern England, this puppy is a confident, cheerful and clingy little guy.
Yorkshire is very clingy, and when he is an adult, he does not like to make trouble, nor does he like to bark, and is a quiet and beautiful dog, who will always snuggle quietly next to his master.
It craves attention, wants to be the only pet in the family, and if there are other pets in the family, it can live in harmony together from an early age.
If it is a new family member in the back, it needs a run-in period, so that they slowly become familiar with and accept each other, Yorkshire is jealous, is very jealous, if you raise two Yorkshire, the owner may be able to see the palace struggle every day!
In contact with other dogs, little Yorkshire has a honey confidence in her body shape, feels that she is much larger than she actually is, and has a surprising exaggeration of her own cognition.
It stood resolutely on the road, even in the face of mastiffs and shepherds, it did not show weakness, telling them who was the boss of the land.
As a true terrier, don't look at Yorkshire as just a small man, once a fight starts, but don't be afraid! If necessary, it will rush up to fight, protecting itself and its family with all its might, even if it may be bitten by a large dog.
So if you want to keep a Yorkshire, it is best to correct the excessive arrogance of these puppies as soon as possible.
They are smart, easy to train, most are willing to participate in interesting obedience lessons, and from an early age to establish rules, they will have a cute and well-behaved little date.
Yorkshire's energy level and body shape are matched, even if the owner is too busy to take it out for a walk, it can also be active and play at home, if it is an outing, a 30-minute walk a day is enough, which will be better for physical and mental health.
Small size, less food, low requirements for space, the amount of activity required is not large, quite worry-free, and it is also suitable for first-time dog owners.
They have beautiful hair, moderately long, very straight, smooth and silky.

Yorkshire belongs to the British play dog, because the coat is silky and silky, as dazzling as a girl's hair, so it is called "living gem".
It is petite and requires extra care from shovelers in its rearing and care.
Beauty is from the inside out, want to have a healthy and beautiful Yorkshire, first of all, you have to start with food supplements, of course, different ages of dog feeding requirements are also different, so today we focus on different ages of Yorkshire should eat.
Feeding nutrition for puppies is the most important
Young Yorkshire is energetic, playful and cute, which is an important period of their growth and can even affect them for a lifetime.
Therefore, the shoveler must not only ensure that the pups get enough food every day, but also pay attention to the abundance of various nutrients in the food, especially whether protein, carbohydrates, fats, vitamins and minerals are balanced.
Dogs cannot control their own diet very well, and they need to be fed regularly by the shoveler to prevent the dog from eating too much and damaging the stomach.
Adult Yorkshire diet
Yorkshire is a typical small dog, generally 8 months old when it is basically an adult, which means that its body shape will not become larger, so the adult dog food with less protein and calories is more suitable for their needs.
The type of dog food that should be selected
● Dry food: about 10% moisture content, easy to preserve, cheap price, reasonable nutrition, suitable for dogs to eat.
● Jerky: Suitable as a snack and training reward, should not be fed more.
● Canned food: About 75% moisture content, is the dog's favorite food, the unit price is higher. Best served with dog food.
●Wet grain: About 25% moisture content, into a semi-cooked state. Dogs also prefer to eat, the unit price is more expensive than dry food, it is not easy to preserve.
Food for dogs is prohibited
●Onions and onions: Cause poisoning.
● Chicken and fish bones: Very hard, easy to scratch the throat and internal organs.
● Sweets: Cakes and other sweets contain a lot of sugar and fat, high calories, which can lead to dog obesity.
● Chocolate: Containing theobromine can cause dog poisoning and even death.
●Milk: Although it is highly nutritious, it is not easy to digest.
Dietary care for the elderly Yorkshire
Dogs become older and less active, so they need to be fed less to maintain a normal weight.
Foods fed to the elderly Yorkshire should be soft, digestible, high in calcium, low in phosphorus, high in high-quality protein and a moderate amount of fiber. No. 2 recommends choosing a special old dog food for Yorkshire.
Because the elderly Yorkshire is no longer lively, like quiet and less moving, at this time the amount of exercise and food will be reduced, should choose to eat less and more meals of feeding methods, and supplement calcium and minerals to reduce the occurrence of osteoporosis and nutritional metabolic diseases.
In addition to regularly cleaning teeth, ear canals and eyes, Yorkshire is most important to brush your bristles every day.
