I like the smaller Yorkie. I love to pick my baby up, and carry him around. He fits so well in my arms. Going back to the original Yorkie will be difficult.My book on Yorkies states that there was alot of intermingling to get the first dogs to actually be called Yorkshire Terriers. It was a breed unique to Yorkshire County. Mid nineth century Yorkies weighed approximately 12 lbs. They were first shown at a dog show in 1861 in New-Castle -on Tyne in England Queen Victoria had a Yorkie. But they did have very humble beginnings as ratters |
