Yorkshire Terriors

The Yorkshire Terrior, also known as a Yorkie, is a breed of small dog, one of many toy dog breeds. Yorkies can be very small, usually weighing between 5 and 7 lb (2.5 to 3.5 kg).

The Yorkie has a compact, small build. It holds itself in an upright, sprightly manner which makes it look confident and selfassured (a reflection of its temperament). Its appearance should be one of spirit, cleverness, curiousity, and vigour. Dogs that appear sullen or life-less are to be penalized. It is solidly built and balanced, and must not appear weak.
