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. |
Yea they got to come from some where. i just dont think its right to make puppies and then make a catchy name for it combining the breed names of the parents and then hiking the price. DOnt get me wrong every dog is cute, but seriously who does this if you werent wanting a purebred dog go to the pound and rescue one instead of paying thousands of dollars for what you could find at teh pound in the first place.
