All this talk about mix breeding got me to researching the Yorkie history, and guess what...they are a mixed breed!!!

LOL
Huddersfield Ben, the sire of the breed, was from the Scottish Terrier, the Clydesdale Terrier and the Paisley Terrier. (The Scottish being the only one who still exists.)
Also, the original Yorkshire's were 30 lbs!

and came in a variety of colors.
