yes I know, LOL, The yorkshire Terrier was AKC recognized in 1885.

The Silky Terrier was AKC recognized in 1959.
the silky terrier is closely related to the Australian Terrier , more so than the yorkshire terrier.
to this day the silky has more Australian Terrier DNA, than any other breed that was used to develop the breed, so is consider a cousin of the Australian Terrier.
The yorkshire terrier should NOT have any traces of Australian Terrier on his DNA.. this is what I am told by my club and the DNA lab.
hugs,
