Some of them brought their dogs - various types of terrier of that time to catch rats. The crosses between those dogs produced the original Yorkie. At first, the Yorkshire Terrier was a much bigger than today's Yorkie, but by selectively breeding the smallest individuals, the dog was gradually miniaturized over the years. They were made into a toy dog. The Yorkshire Terrier appeared fist time on a dog show in 1870. In 1874 the first the Yorkies were registered in the British Kennel Club stud book.



I'm sure everyone has seen how the yorkie came about. And if Someone was wanting to create a new breed. IE (labradoodle) (Porkie) and others they may just one day be a regestered pure breed. JMO
It isn't quite that simple. Guaranteed they will NOT be called a porkie or a labradoodle.
There are a lot of years, money and dedication into creating a new true purebred including many generations of them 'breeding true'. If you don't know what 'breeding true' is go back and do your homework.
