It even describes an unusual Yorkie who works as a hearing dog, providing much-needed help and companionship for his owner.
The Yorkshire Terrier is a stunning show dog, and breed enthusiasts will find advice on exhibiting a dog in the show ring, and starting a breeding program.

Richard Haynes comes from a Yorkshire family of dog lovers, and was given his first Yorkie as a thirteenth birthday present by his parents in 1963.
Yorkies quickly became a passion for Richard, and he began breeding, showing, and judging them. His kennel name, Eduracum, is Latin for ?York,? and this affix has graced some fine dogs, including Ch. Eburacum Paladin and German Ch. Eburacum Peregrine.
With his partner, John Geraghty, Richard continues breeding Yorkies, maintaining some of the famous old British lines. He also shows occasionally.
Richard is a qualified Toy Group judge, and officiates regularly throughout Europe. He has had the privilege of judging at Crufts three times to date.
