Yorkshire Terrier: types of terriers

Great Britain is considered to be the birthplace of modern terriers. Hunters in the 13th century used them to hunt foxes, which the dogs drove out of their holes. The dogs were small, strong, and vicious. Besides hunting, they guarded their master's dwelling. The breed got its name from the word terra, which means "earth". So the dogs began to be called "terriers". Types of terriers differ in body size, coat color, hardness and length. These dogs are beloved and full–fledged family members. It's impossible not to get attached to them.
