Yorkshire Terrier
The Yorkshire Terrier is a small but brave and energetic toy breed developed in 19th-century Yorkshire, England. Despite its tiny size, the Yorkie has a big-dog personality: bold, curious, and deeply devoted to its family. The breed adapts exceptionally well to apartment living and is consistently ranked among the most popular breeds worldwide.
