Bred by the mill workers of Yorkshire from northern terrier stock, the little blue-and-tan Yorkshire Terrier rose swiftly to become a favourite toy companion. In The Yorkshire Terrier, S. Jessop sets down what every owner and breeder should know of the breed.
First published in 1920, S. Jessop's account sets the Yorkshire Terrier's history and origins alongside guidance on its points and standard, its character, and the everyday work of rearing, feeding and preparing a dog for the show ring.
Long scarce in its original edition, it returns here in a faithful modern reprint for Yorkshire Terrier owners, breeders and breed historians.
This edition features:
- Traces the origins and history of the Yorkshire Terrier.
- Sets out the breed's points, character and show standard.
- Practical notes on rearing, feeding, breeding and management.
- Restored from the original text and illustrations.
