Yorkshire terriers may be a toy breed, but they are real dogs that are big in personality. True terriers, Yorkies were originally bred to relentlessly hunt small pests, such as weasels and rats. Today Yorkies are rarely used as working dogs. Instead, they are loving and loyal family companions. They love attention, playing, and being with their human "pack." This book opens young dog lovers to the big world of the little Yorkshire terrier with plenty of charming photographs and helpful information.
