What Yorkies are like to live with

The Yorkshire Terrier is a toy breed with a working past. The Royal Kennel Club describes it as a "silky toy terrier with roots in the Yorkshire cotton mills", and says it is thought that Scottish workers who came to the mines and mills of Yorkshire brought their terriers with them. It adds that the Yorkie became popular as a house pet but "still retains some of the features of his terrier background".
