Yorkshire Terriers, or "Yorkies," are small, spirited dogs known for their luxurious, silky coats and lively personalities. Originally bred in England during the 19th century to hunt rats in textile mills, these compact canines weigh around 4 to 7 pounds and stand about 7 to 8 inches tall. Despite their small size, Yorkies are confident, feisty, and highly energetic, often displaying a boldness that belies their tiny stature.
