Though the Yorkshire Terrier has only once -- in 1978 -- won "Best in Show" at the venerable Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show, the Yorkie remains one of the most popular dog breeds in the country. For 30 years, our expert Sharon Jones has been involved in breeding and showing Yorkshire Terriers and she tells Paw Nation, "It's an endearing and very spirited breed. They have a lot of spunk and are a big dog in a small package."
