Yes, it was and this was done before most dogs were registered in England or in the USA. However, it was bred for a purpose and not to be sold as designer dogs for big bucks. Peasants were not allowed to have large dogs, that right was reserved for the noble and rich. Yorkies were bred by the poor working class for ratting and hunting of small vermin.
