I was given the Toy group of dogs and I chose to do the following dogs of Yorkshire Terriers, Pekingese, and Pomeranian. The following information is based of the history and general important information if these breeds.
This first breed was original known as the Broken Haired Scotch Terrier and Toy Terrier. The known name as the Yorkshire Terrier was given to this breed in 1874. This dog is originated from Yorkshire, England and that’s where they got there names from.

In 1860 when the British took over the Chinese Imperial Palace, the guards were told to kill the little dogs and five of the Pekingese survived and, it was from these five dogs that the modern day Pekingese descended. In 1893 the breed was first shown in Britain. The Pekingese was recognized by the AKC in 1906. The Pekinese is a dog that does require regular bathing and brushing. This good-natured, affectionate double coated dog has a coarse textured, straight, stand-off outer coat, with thick, soft undercoat. This coat needs to be bathed and brushed weekly to prevent the dog from becoming tangled. Plus the more basic grooming procedures includes ear cleaning, nail trimming, trimming the pads, anal glands, and proper dental hygiene. Health problems can include brachycephalic airway syndrome, which causes breathing difficulty; intervertebral disc disease; eye diseases; and patellar luxation, a condition in which the knee caps pop out of position. Pekingese from a responsible show breeder will run anywhere from $750 up to $3000 Adopting a pet from such groups would only cost around $50-200. About
