Well in theory, I suppose that would be the way to go, HOWEVER...we all know that big yorkies don't always produce big pups, and small yorkies don't always produce small pups, so it would take decades, if not a century to breed them true...so if there are a group of people willing to dedicate that much time and effort into making a BIG terrier that started from a Yorkie, then I wish them luck. People are trying to do the same with the Biewer, then of course you get the "stragglers" who breed the Biewer to the Yorkie, which is a huge no-no for those who are working so hard to create the different breed. In order to do the same with a larger dog based on a Yorkie, there could be no variance, ie.. if the standard is set at 10-18 lbs for example, no dogs could be used from smaller or larger dogs, as consistency would have to be established through the generations. AKC will not reccognize a new breed that can not breed "true" to its standard. So, in theory, what other than size would you want to see different in this new "bigger terrier" breed?
