These facts are as tiny as Yorkies:
#1 It was the first therapy dog.
Without their help, soldiers would have had to dig trenches and expose themselves to enemy fire.
#2 It started as ratters
These little dogs were bred from terriers, including the Waterside terrier, in order to hunt rats.
#3 They had a name change.
They were known as broken-haired Scotch terriers.
#4 Weavers brought them to England.
#5 One dog was used to start a new breed.
One Yorkie was born with unusual markings in blue, white, and gold and create a new breed.
#6 They make funny noises.
Instead of pushing air out of the nose like a normal sneeze, dogs will gasp for air, making a honking sound like a goose.
