Yorkies were developed from breeding several different kinds of terriers together and some belive they were bred with the maltese to get the small size. There is some controversy on this subject and if you do a "search" of this forum using the word Biewer you can find the threads where it is discussed.

The short answer is yes, Biewers were derived from purebred yorkies. They carry the recessive genes for the parti-colors. You can also go to almost any Biewer breeders website and find the history of the Biewer and you can google the history of the yorkie to find the generally accepted understanding of how the breed came to be.
