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.© All images on this site are Copyright to the Yorkshire Terrier Club of NSW Inc
