In the early days of the breed, "almost anything in the shape of a Terrier having a long coat with blue on the body and fawn or silver coloured head and legs, with tail docked and ears trimmed, was received and admired as a Yorkshire Terrier". Breeding of the Yorkshire Terrier was "principally accomplished by the people-mostly operatives in cotton and woolen mills-in the counties of Yorkshire and Lancashire." They were originally bred to hunt small animals, such as rats. [ In the mid-19th century, workers from Scotland came to Yorkshire in search of work and brought with them several different varieties of small terriers.

We use many of Cesar's training techniques with Winston, and they definitely work. I took this picture of him when he was playing on my parents’ farm. "This is Winston, my wonderful little Dorkie. Sissy enjoys playing with her toys and cuddling up to people."
She has a playmate who is a Lab / Shepherd mix Chloe is eight times as big as Sissy and it is fun to watch them play together.

He willingly gave up the position and the owners will need to be consistent with him in order to keep it away from him.
