The Yorkshire Terrier traces to the Waterside Terrier, a small longish-coated dog, bluish-gray in color, weighing between 6 and 20 pounds (most commonly 10 pounds). The Waterside Terrier was a breed formed by the crossing of the old rough-coated Black-and-Tan English Terrier (common in the Manchester area) and the Paisley and Clydesdale Terriers. It was brought to Yorkshire by weavers who migrated from Scotland to England in the mid-19th century.
The Yorkshire Terrier made its first appearance at a bench show in England in 1861 as a "broken-haired Scotch Terrier". It became known as a Yorkshire Terrier in 1870 when, after the Westmoreland show, Angus Sutherland reported in The Field magazine that "they ought no longer be called Scotch Terriers, but Yorkshire Terriers for having been so improved there."
I'm not trying to be a smart allic or anything by pasting this information from the AKC (oops I'm stealing again) but I thought maybe it be to your benefit to realize that many breeds were a combination between other breeds, etc. The Yorkshire Terrior is a combo too!
So, your not liking that I'm mixing two breeds is really a sad and close minded view. Have you seen that AKC is just now registering mixed breeds to the AKC dog family? I prefer not to register mine with them as AKC still has an attitude about some mixed breeds and wants them spay/neutered before they'll register them. But what's that say about mixing breeds??
Anyway, take care. I have dogs to tend to.
