Want to know where yorkies originated?
They started out in England (19th century), where weavers
brought their families and dogs with them when they left their
homeland, after being forced out or work by the Industrial
Revolution. These were all working men’s dogs, used to keep
the rodents under control in the textile mills and coal mines.
What bloodlines were used to establish the Yorkshire Terrier
is subject to much speculation, due to the fact that the
breeders of these dogs did not write down who was bred to
whom. If they liked the spirit and looks of the dogs, they
mated them. It was chance at best.
In 1865, the foundation sire of the Yorkshire Terrier breed,
was born. Huddersfield Ben was owned by M.A. Foster, and
he enjoyed a very public life, to popularize the breed in
England. He demonstrated that he was very successful in the
rat killing contests (these were quite popular in the 19th
century), and he won more than 70 prizes as a show dog as
well.
In 1872, the Yorkshire Terrier was introduced into the United
States, and was recognized by the AKC in 1878. But it wasn’t
until the 1930’s that the Yorkshire Terrier took on its modern
look. It is important to note that the Yorkshire Terrier up until
the 1930’s usually weighed approximately 30 pounds, not the
3 to 7 pounds it does today.
