I am quoting Rini here, and I am also sitting in the corner with Sue. The german registration for these dogs clearly identifies them as Yorkshire Terrier a la Pom Pon.
The Biewer standard as written by Mr. Biewer calls for
"Entsprechen dem Yorkshire Standard auBer Haarlange und Haarfarbe". The only differentiation he specified was to coat, color and markings. In his words he wrote of them as Yorkshire Terriers...I don't think it can be clearer than that.
