This is the stuff I am talking about with people and the parti's. No one wants to believe what is written and always just casts it off as fiction. I don't think if it was fiction it would be written in several different books and by several different people, back then they didn't care. Is there any AKC proof that there were not a tri's or whites years and years ago? As you say, so in the yorkies makeup, people misname dogs all the time and so the true heritage of the yorkie can NOT be proven one way or the other.
