The Home Front · Small Dog, Big Duty
Yorkshire Terrier Propaganda Poster
A funny Yorkshire Terrier poster: a tiny blue-and-tan Yorkie stands guard on a stack of cushions, barking at a mailbag twice its size, in the style of a 1940s home-front propaganda poster.

The truth behind the poster
- “Small Dog, Big Duty”
- Yorkies were bred in the mills and mines of northern England to catch rats, and they still have a full-size terrier inside: bold, alert and quick to sound the alarm. Because they are small, barking is often laughed off instead of trained. Teaching a "quiet" cue and meeting the mail carrier calmly works as well on a Yorkie as on any big dog.
