Yorkshire terrier: National Rescue remains active and in support

Yorkshire Terrier National Rescue remains active and in support of Yorkies in need, and those who need to surrender, would like to foster, or want to adopt during COVID-19. Yorkshire Terriers are not your typical couch companion. They are bold and independent with an energetic feistiness. Let's learn everything about them... The Yorkshire Terrier , or the Yorkie, is a small terrier breed that originated in the 19th century in Yorkshire , England. The Yorkshire Terrier is the result of cross breeding between a variety of terrier types and first appeared around England’s Yorkshire region during the middle of the 19th century. The early Yorkshire Terriers could be as large as 6kg and were used, similar to other terrier breeds, to kill rats. Over time, breeders produced a smaller, more beautiful dog that was a household pet and show dog, rather than a rat killer.
