If I'm right this little beauty is a Yorkshire Terrier... cute as can be but once a very good working dog. The old Yorkshire Minors kept these for 'Ratting' compatition would be had to see who's dog could kill say 20 rats the quickests. Bet would be put on certain dogs. I have a fondness for these dogs. The dogs the miners used were a lot stockier than the breed standard is now.
Have a look here:
