Interesting facts about our unique breed....

In the lap of luxury and full of sass - that's how a Yorkshire Terrier rolls! 💁‍♀️🛋️
Yorkshire Terriers are the epitome of cuteness, from their perky ears to their wagging tails. To celebrate these pint-sized cuties, here are three fun facts about the breed:
🐶 The Yorkshire Terrier was originally bred to catch rats in clothing mills and predominately belonged to the working class. The breed later became a fashionable pet in the late Victorian era.
🐶 Audrey Hepburn helped to introduce Yorkshire Terriers to the celebrity world when she introduced her first Yorkie, Mr Famous, to the spotlight.
🐶 In World War II, a Yorkie named Smoky is credited with saving the lives of soldiers by dragging a communications cable through an 8-inch-wide, 60-foot-long drainage culvert.
