The Yorkshire Terrier dog breed has always been among the popular and loved dog breeds since ancient times. It is thought that the history of the Yorkshire Terrier breed dates back to recent times. In fact, the history of this dog breed is so recent that it can be said to be in the late 1800s. It is thought that this breed was developed by workers in the Northern England region. The purpose of developing the breed was to hunt the rats found in the mines, as well as the badgers and foxes seen around the farm.
Unfortunately, the origin of this breed is a mystery, as the workers who are thought to have developed the Yorkshire Terrier breed did not keep any records of the dogs they used in the process. It is estimated that the Scots who came to work in wool workshops in the Yorkshire region brought with them their different terriers, including Skye and Clydesdale. These dogs were crossed with territorial type dogs such as the Leeds Terrier, which has long hair. Maltese Terriers, black or tan Manchester and Dandie Dinmont Terriers are even thought to contribute to these bloodlines. The Yorkshire Terrier, which was initially a breed larger than its current appearance, has now been reduced to smaller sizes through selective breeding techniques.
