00:00Hi, I'm a Yorkshire Terrier.

00:12You can call me a Yorkie for short.

00:14My body may be tiny, but it packs a big personality.

00:18I love being the center of attention, and if you give it to me, we'll get along just

00:22fine.

00:23I've got tons of confidence no matter how many people or pets are in the house with

00:27me.

00:28I'm full of energy in and out of the house, so don't expect me to get cuddly until I've

00:32gotten in lots of playtime.

00:35My family originated in Yorkshire, England in the mid-19th century.

00:39We were bred from a mix of different Scottish Terriers and used to hunt down pests.

00:44Since we were so small, we could chase down all kinds of animals into their burrows and

00:48dens.

00:49As time went on, we were bred to be smaller and smaller.

00:52That's how we became such a fashionable pet.

00:55We Yorkies can live about 12 to 17 years.

00:58We typically grow between 7 to 10 inches and weigh around 3 to 7 pounds.

01:04Some Yorkies end up being extra small, though.

01:06Those are called Teacup Yorkies.

01:08We're known for being a hypoallergenic dog, so we're great for anyone who may have allergies.

01:14Like other small breeds, we're prone to a few health issues, like hip and joint problems.

01:18Our bodies are tiny and fragile, so no rough housing.

01:21I may have a big bark, but there's not a lot of me to back it up.

01:24I'm small, but I'm still a Terrier.

01:27I'm used to taking charge, so training me will take some patience and persistence.

01:31Also, I love teasing and messing with other dogs way bigger than me, so keep my leash

01:36handy.

01:37I'm cool with living in either an apartment or a house.

01:40Just remember how much energy I have.

01:42If you don't want me running laps in your living room, leash me up and get me outside

01:46for a walk or two, or three, every day.

01:49Let's recap.

01:50I'm great with families.

01:51My breed started in 19th century England.

01:54I can live a pretty long life with good care and a gentle touch.

01:57And I'm totally cool with living in an apartment or house.

02:00Okay, talking's boring.

02:01When do we go outside?
