Title:

Teacup Yorkies and Small Dog Breeds

Description:

As one of the most popular breeds of terrier today, Teacup Yorkies were originally bred in the 1800s in the Yorkshire, England area and their main purpose was to catch rats in clothing mills. Nicknamed “Yorkie,” these dogs are very small and are often less than 7 pounds when full grown. Yorkie coats are usually silky soft and are tan and blue in color. The Yorkshire terrier is generally acknowledged to have first appeared after the mixing of three different dogs but while many dogs in the 1800s were labeled as Yorkshire terriers simply because of coat color, the breed itself was more uniquely identifiable by mid-century.
