The Yorkie is a man-made breed believed to be a combination of the Clydesdale Terrier (now said to be extinct), the Skye Terrier, the Leeds Terrier, Maltese, Black & Tan Manchester, and the Dandi Dinmont Terrier. The Dandi Dinmont comes in "Pepper" or "Mustard" color. I just wanted to say that the mustard color on the Dandi Dinmont's back is exactly the coloring of my red/gold Yorkie pups. I'll attach a picture shortly. I just thought this was interesting. They were much larger originally and then the smaller ones were bred to get the size down. I just thought someone may want to check out some of these breeds to see their individual markings and such. I just read all this online a couple of days ago.
