You are right! This may help a little....It is believe that the Yorkshire Terrier is a mixture of the Clydesdale Terrier, the Skye Terrier (comes in fawn or cream), the Leeds Terrier, Maltese, Black and Tan Manchester, and the Dandie Dinmont Terrier (comes in Pepper or Mustard). All of these genes are in the Yorkie. They were bred at first to be a larger dog, then they started breeded the smaller ones to get the smaller outcome. However, ALL of these genes are still in the line and pop up here and there color/size wise. |
