Yorkshire Terrier Plush Toys
The Yorkshire Terrier
was developed in the English county of Yorkshire, where the miners who worked there hoped to find a breed of dog that would control the rats that infested the mine shafts. Various breeds were used to end up with the Yorkie. They included the Skye terrier, the black-and-tan toy terrier, the Dandie Dinmont and the Maltese.
This lively courageous little dog is affectionate with its master and suspicious of strangers. It is only 9 inches high and weighs about 8 pounds. It makes an excellent companion dog and will notify its owner of any unwanted intrusions.
They do not do well in very cold weather and need to have extra woolen jackets to wear when taken out.
The image above shows a very nice selection of Yorkshire Terrier stuffed animals and gifts. The Yorkie pillow is made by Manual Woodworkers and Weavers. Other Yorkie giftware includes the magnetic Note Pad, resin frame, Yorkie Head Change Purse, and a number of Yorkshire Terrier stuffed animals including Camilla from Douglas Cuddle Toys, Trevor made by Aurora, Princess from Ganz and the big Yorkie in back made by Melissa & Doug. Some are available through our sponsor, Jeannie's Cottage Gift Shop. Find Yorkie stuffed animals and gift in the Jeannie's Cottage Gift Shop.
