theyre just pets,theyre might be some out there that hunt rabbits but nobody breeds these types especially for hunting rabbits.

When I was a kid in the 70's there was an old boy that used yorkies to rat with, and they were good at it, not like the lap dogs you see around now, the coats were not as long as they are now, and they seemed to have a little more muscle on them back then

I have seen an enlarged Yorkshire terrier. It was purebred, just bred bigger to the size like that of a normal sized terrier.

In the late seventies early eighties there was a well known badger sette in Staffordshire that regularly had a westie or two working away in it, neerly every time you went neer it you would see these little fookers coming in and out and if you sat and watched they weren't the best but their hart was in the right place.

 

The farm in question doesn't have this sett anymore but the westies are still there.
