I had a pit bull lab once we can call it a pit retriever and then make millions. lol |
Wow- I guess the Yorkie is also a DESIGNER MUTT!!
The Yorkshire Terrier is a member of the American Kennel Club's Toy Group. There are differing opinions on the origins of the breed. The 18th edition of the AKC's Complete Dog Book says that: "The Yorkshire Terrier traces to the Waterside Terrier, a small longish-coated dog, bluish-gray in colour, weighing between 6 and 20 pounds." Other sources place the Yorkie as a cross between the Maltese (also a toy breed) and the now-extinct Black and Tan Terrier.
