Fun facts about Yorkies

Yorkies may be small in size, but they pack a tremendous personality and are renowned for their self-assurance and tenacity.

Did you know that Yorkies were developed in England in the 19th century as rat-catchers in textile factories?

Due to their small size and fierce demeanor, they were able to take on rodents that were many times their size.
