I agree with that, but I see the Yorkshire Terrier more as a 'new improved Clydesdale' as that breed had the most influence that has carried forward. The Clydesdale was a most favored dog until the Yorkshire came along and pushed it into extinction. I kept him for some time and marveled at just how great a dog he was but yes, he does not meet the breed standard.
