It says improved -- it does not say that they bred other breeds to the Scotch terrier to get Yorkies. The broken-haired Scotch Terriers were just renamed Yorkshire Terriers as they were improved there. Improved means breeding the best to the best -- not mixing breeds for hybrids. |
the scotch terrier IS A MIX OF BREEDS, thats how it came about, then when they got what they wanted they called it the yorkie.
and as you say bred the best of the best.
of which we see today.
