Lucky Yorkie
Yorkshire Terriers are probably the hottest little dog breed in Hollywood these days.
Although the toy breed was already en vogue back when Audrie Hepburn owed one, (named Mr. Famous) here’s a list of some present-day Yorkie-owned celebrities and their names:
• Anastacia (Name: Freak)
• Tom Brady & Gisele Bundchen (Vida)
• Kristin Cavallari (Rocco)
• Miley Cyrus (Roadie)
• Hilary Duff (Jack)
• Carmen Electra (Daisy)
• Missy Elliot (Poncho)
• Alyson Hannigan (Zippy)
• Whitney Houston (Doogie)
• Lindsay Lohan (Dakota)
• Heather Locklear (Kitty)
• Jay Mohr (Yorkie name: Maibel)
• Kevin & Danielle Jonas (Riley)
• Donnie Osmond (Spike)
• Natalie Portman (Whiz)
• Joan Rivers (Spike)
• Emmy Rossum (Cinnamon)
• Liev Schreiber (Bob)
• Ivanka Trump (Tiger)
• Miranda Kerr / Orlando Bloom (Frankie)
• Tara Reid (Stoli)
• Molly Sims (Poupette)
• Britney Spears (London)
• Naomi Watts (Bob)
• Paris Hilton (Cinderella)
• Phoebe Price (Harry)
• Vanessa Williams (Enzo)
• Venus Williams (Veronica)
Did you know? Yorkies were originally bred in the 19th Century by mill owners in Yorkshire, England primarily to catch rats. (probably not a problem in Beverly Hills?) A Yorkie named Pasha ruled the Whitehouse with an iron paw during the Nixon years (owned by President Nixon’s daughter Tricia)
World’s Smallest Dog
Eva Gabor’s character obeyed a Yorkie on Green Acres, and so did Sharpay in High School Musical 2. Although the original intent was for Toto in the Wizard of Oz to be a Yorkie, they used a Cairn Terrier instead.
For years the Guiness Book of World Records listed a Yorkie as the World’s Smallest Dog. (Although that title currently belongs to a Chihuahua.)
