Yorkshire Terrier Breed Information
Yorkshire Terriers 2010 Wall Calendar
The Yorkshire Terrier's doll-like appearance and size are somewhat misleading, for this is not a meek dog. It prefers not to be pampered, as it is rather independent and bold. At one time it was a distinguished hunter of rats! But after all, with those wide eyes and that lovely blue and tan coat, they are darling, darling, darling. Yorkie fans will find this 2006 wall calendar quite delightful.
