The correct answer is Hunt rats
So why is this answer correct? : Yorkshire terriers, commonly called “Yorkies,” have come a long way. Now known as lap warmers, this breed originally worked in mines and mills, hunting for rats. Their small, 7-pound stature made them the perfect candidates to get into tight spaces and hunt for vermin.
