The Yorkshire Terrier (often shortened as Yorkie) is one of the most miniature dog breeds of the terrier type and any dog breed. The breed developed during the 19th century in Yorkshire, England. Ideally, its maximum size is 7 pounds (3.2 kg). A famous companion dog, the Yorkshire Terrier, has also been part of other breeds, such as the Silky Terrier. Most have a black and tan coat, but they are also known to have silverish-grey or blonde skin.

Yorkshire terriers are playful and energetic dogs. They often exhibit separation anxiety when left alone, which is why some owners keep two dogs.

The Yorkshire Terrier originated in Yorkshire. In the mid-19th century, workers from Scotland came to Yorkshire searching for work and brought with them several varieties of 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." In the 1800s, miners wanting to develop a ratting terrier bred Black-and-Tan Terriers with the Paisley and Clydesdale Terriers. Details are scarce. Mrs. A. Foster is quoted as saying in 1886, "If we consider that the mill operatives who originated the breed were nearly all ignorant men, unaccustomed to imparting information for public use, we may see some reason why reliable facts have not been easily attained."

Adult Yorkshire Terriers whose coat colors deviate from the standard or that have woolly or extra fine coats are still Yorkshire Terriers. The only difference is that atypical Yorkshire Terriers should not intentionally be bred.

The Kennel Club has described the ideal Yorkshire Terrier character or "personality" as having a "carriage very upright feisty" and "conveying an important air." Though small, the Yorkshire Terrier is active, very protective, curious, and fond of attention.

Yorkshire Terriers are an easy dog breed to train. This results from their own nature to work without human assistance.
