The same thing has happened with many other breeds. You should see early pictures of the Bichon.....unreal!
Anyway - they obviously used to just allow their dogs to stay more "natural." (The blow dryer hadn't been invented yet!!!!)
(Let's be honest - don't you suppose the dogs enjoyed being that way more!)
We are the ones who have changed. It's amazing what we put out little dogs through (some breeds much more than the Yorkie) to get them to look the way we think they look best.
Fun fun fun!!!!
