As an addendum to my last post, I'd like to add that Minnie is indeed an off type, and far from the breed standard for Yorkshire Terriers (even if it is due to only one or two genes), and it would wise for Minnie's breeder to stop breeding Minnie's parents. But Minnie is special and beautiful in her own way, and the fact that she tests as a purebred Yorkie even though she doesn't look like one and has generated so much comment and interest makes her even more special and unique.
