| Yorkshire Terriers were developed in England, but today's Yorkie is much different from the original terrier bred to hunt. The earliest record of a Yorkshire Terrier born in the United States dates to 1872. Today's Yorkie is one of the most popular of all the toy breeds. He is as charming as he is intelligent. A Yorkie is full of courage, which can sometimes get him into trouble. Yorkies do not view themselves as a small dog. They are "lion-hearted" and fiercely loyal. A Yorkshire Terrier is full of affection for his family. All Yorkies are considered Toy's by the AKC, though small, they should be spirited.
