Yorkshire Terriers are the smallest of the terriers, but the smartest and most cunning terrier by far according to most accepted dog iq tests. They are also the second smartest toy, after the French bred Papillon. While they look like adorable little teddy bears, be warned that these dogs were bred to kill vermin in Yorkshire, England, during the industrial revolution. They are tiny, yet mighty! If you treat them like dogs, they will behave like dogs. Much like their larger terrier cousins, they are tenacious, and will hunt and kill vermin of all sizes (my 5 lb monster likes to kill NYC rats twice her size). They are often seen as yappy, frofro little lap dogs, but these are usually your poor bred yorkies whose puppy mill or back yard breeders were more concerned in making a quick buck than keeping them true to their working class ancestors. They are light sleepers (again, as they were bred as independent hunters), which makes them excellent watch dogs. They are dominant, protective, and territorial, often called little Napoleons, they have no idea that they are a small dog. They make excellent companion dogs, and often steal the show at obedience trials, although due to their tiny size, they are not suitable in households with young children. Their silky coats (which should only be described as a "gold dog with a steel saddle" as that's the only color that can currently be registered with the national breed club) require constant grooming, unless you're lazy like most Yorkie owners and chop them short. Then they rarely ever shed and have low dander. Although no dog is truly hypoallergenic.
They are bright, active, fiesty, athletic, loving and portable little dogs.

A Yorkshire Terrier was named the most popular mascot of WW2. His story is told in the book "Yorkie Doodle Dandy"

Get the terrieka mug.mastaman obviously aint got a clue what he's on about yeah staffies may be owened by the majority of chavy scum but their not soft and can just as easily be trained and used to aradicate chavs from the earth forever. staffies are the origanal pit bulls. when english and irish settlers moved to america they took thier staffies with them and bred the bigger dogs with the bigger dogs resulting in a bigger dog. but in esense its the same breed that has just chaged slightly over time and when veiwed side by side it's easy to see. some blood lines of pitbulls still produce dogs of staffie height(around 16 to 17 inches)
