His story is worth mentioning. It helped shape his qualities. This rather ordinary little terrier dog was adopted by coal miners from the English province of Yorkshire hence its name.

Why that ?

The galleries of the mines were supported by wooden frames which attracted wood-eating rats and mice, since rodents by nature.
The survival of their profession depended on the good behavior of these frames and therefore of their little four-legged companion. A good terrier and therefore a good rodent hunter, he was an ideal companion to avoid the slightest aggression to these
wooden structures by these rodents and thus ensure the safety of working galleries. thank you little one York!
