It is among the smallest of the terriers and indeed of all dog breeds, with a weight of no more than 3.2 kg/7 pounds. It originated in the nineteenth century in the English county of Yorkshire, for which it is named. The coat is tan on the head and dark steel-grey on the body; no other colour is accepted by either The Kennel Club or the Fédération Cynologique Internationale.<br></span></p></div><div class="az-element az-html" style="" data-az-persist="PGlmcmFtZSB3aWR0aD0iMzYwIiBoZWlnaHQ9IjIwMAoiIHNyYz0iaHR0cHM6Ly93d3cueW91dHViZS5jb20vZW1iZWQvZEwzMzJBVFpnNWc/c2k9ei1qVEIyaG9TYnd4d3AyQSIgdGl0bGU9IllvdVR1YmUgdmlkZW8gcGxheWVyIiBmcmFtZWJvcmRlcj0iMCIgYWxsb3c9ImFjY2VsZXJvbWV0ZXI7IGF1dG9wbGF5OyBjbGlwYm9hcmQtd3JpdGU7IGVuY3J5cHRlZC1tZWRpYTsgZ3lyb3Njb3BlOyBwaWN0dXJlLWluLXBpY3R1cmU7IHdlYi1zaGFyZSIgYWxsb3dmdWxsc2NyZWVuPjwvaWZyYW1lPg==" data-az-id="gbddph5bqc" data-azat-pid="gbzpx2lot6" id="gbzpx2lot6" data-azb="az_html" data-az-human-readable="HTML" data-az-human-readable-en="HTML" data-azat-box_model="000000" data-azcnt="true"><iframe width="360" height="200

It was developed by crossing the Clydesdale Terrier, Skye Terrier, and Manchester Terrier. The first Yorkshire Terriers were much larger than the breed is today, but they were gradually bred down in size.</span></p><p data-sourcepos="11:1-11:14"><span style="font-size:18px;"><strong>Appearance</strong></span></p><p data-sourcepos="13:1-13:262"><span style="font-size:18px;">Yorkshire Terriers are small, but they have a sturdy build. They have a long, silky coat that is usually parted down the middle of the back. The coat can be either straight or curly. Yorkshire Terriers come in a variety of colors, including black, tan, and blue.<br></span><br></p></div><div class="az-element az-html" style="" data-az-persist="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" data-az-id="gb18htzw3m" data-azat-pid="gb18htzw3m" id="gb18htzw3m" data-azb="az_html" data-az-human-readable="HTML" data-az-human-readable-en="HTML" data-azcnt="true" data-azat-box_model="000000"><iframe sandbox="allow-popups allow-scripts allow-modals allow-forms allow-same-origin" style="width:120px;height:240px;" marginwidth="0" marginheight="0" scrolling="no" frameborder="0" src="//ws-na.amazon-adsystem.com/widgets/q?ServiceVersion=20070822&OneJS=1&Operation=GetAdHtml&MarketPlace=US&source=ss&ref=as_ss_li_til&ad_type=product_link&tracking_id=stormsai-20&language=en_US&marketplace=amazon&region=US&placement=B00OTU41JI&asins=B00OTU41JI&linkId=cb72c77673ce64d30854692b168e713b&show_border=true&link_opens_in_new_window=true"></iframe>
