The Maltese is actually a spaniel and originated in Malta. Do you know where the idea that there is Maltese in the Yorkshire Terrier came from? |
ooh you got me thinking now as to where i read it or heard it, i might be in my yorkie books i will go have a look, or i may of seen it on the internet.
i know no one really knows what breeds make up the yorkie as no one has records of them and the miners who came up with the breed never spilled the beans.
