  YORKSHIRE TERRIER
The Yorkshire Terrier is, with his long flowing coat and graceful gait, probably the most glamorous of the smaller (Toy-type) terrier breeds.
When exhibiting the Yorkshire Terrier, adhering to the U.K.C. philosophy of the "Total Dog," it is permissible to show a dog that has been "cut down," and the dog should not be faulted for lack of floor-length coat.
Yorkshire Terriers are very intelligent and lovable and, because of their size, make excellent traveling companions.
