These purebreds were created by fanciers that got together and decided what they wanted in both appearance and how they were going to be used. The Yorkie in simple terms needed to be small as common people were not allowed dogs over a certain size, yet also needed to be ratters.
However various breeds were created which took usually about 50 years to get what they wanted, they are now registered purebred and breed true (look that up if you don't know what breeding true is) becasue when you take a purebred registered Yorkie and breed it to a purebred registered yorkie, you get puppies that look like Yorkies. There can be some variations within any purebred such as size etc but what you have should look like the breed that the parents are.
You take a Yorkie/maltese and breed it to a Yorkie/maltese, you are not going to get puppies that look like either parent and either parent may not at all look like each other. That is not the case in GOOD QUALITY ( Note I am saying GOOD QUALITY) representatives of a purebred breed.
Some purebred breeds have been around for many thousands of years. Find a good book about purebreds, I would bet AKC likely puts one out, that tells you about the different purebreeds, how long they have been around and how we got to where we are today in purebreds. |
first of all i was talking about YEARS AGO when ALL dog breeds came about, they ALL come from the WOLF and are a mix of older breeds of dog that came from the wolf.
i know how the yorkie came about as i do have books about them and have had them over 20 years.
they have an IDEA of what breeds were used to make the yorkie but no one is sure what these breeds were its a guess.
also the point i make about none of us know if are yorkies are full blooded or not is that we trust the breeder, they say this is the father this is the mother but there is no prof of this unless dna is done.
yes if you breed a pure bred yorkie with another pure bred yorkie you will get pups that look like yorkies of course but as with the beiwer (sp) it is from a gene that crops up so all i was saying is it may be the same kind of thing, but i doult it as to me it looks like she just bred a maltease and a yorkie together.
as for a book from the akc i have books from the kc in the uk where the yorkie was first bred and shown so i do know about the breed and how they came about but thankyou for your suggestion.
