Yorkshire Terriers (Yorkies) are very small dogs. My full-grown adults are typically only 4-7 pounds, and I sometimes have the tiny size with the "Babydoll" face. Originally bred in England as ratters for the Nobility, Yorkies are high-energy dogs with great courage and confidence. It is not uncommon for a Yorkie to challenge another dog many times its size. Their loving attitude and clownish antics have made the Yorkshire Terrier a favorite among toy dogsrnrn
