 | | Developed in the western part of Yorkshire, England, it is speculated that the following terriers, Waterside, Clydesdale, Paisley, rough-coated Black and Tan, Dandie Dinmont and the Skye, all played a part in the creation. |
 | | Originally, the Yorkshire Terrier, or Yorkie Terrier as it is affectionately known, was bred to kill rats in the local coal pits and cotton mills in the mid 19th century. |
 | | Because the size of the breed, according to the breed standard, is not definitively stated, references to a Teacup Yorkshire Terrier or Teacup Yorkie, are frequently mentioned by breeders, but there is no mention of that term in the standard. |
