They didnt need the Maltese. Also, if the piebald gene is there, why dont we see piebald Silkys, as the Yorkie was one of 3 dogs to make up that breed? I am sure that this debate about color can go on into eternity. And since there was no DNA or complete records back then, the complete history is lost.
