ok
 

well you can swear by this joan lady and i will read the books i want to read , I will go with my opinion untill i am prooved wrong . And i have read over and over again that there is absolutley no proof of what breeds it took to get a yorkshire terrier and also the maltese terrier was around long before the yorkishire terrier breed and enough said I dont want to argue with you it goes like this you stand by your auther , and I will go by mine thank and no i do not want to have controversy over you and me not believing one another.
I am here to get opions not get told that i am stupid for stating somthing i read.

Where in any of this did I say that you were stupid?

Your postings speak for themselves. If you are going to quote someone or something, then make sure that those who wrote it know what they are talking about, or you may end up looking stupid.

And I am no longer going to reply to any of these post lest I should end up looking stupid for geing sucked in to such a stupid argument.

[QUOTE=JeanieK]Well proof No, but there have been articles written by people who knew the origin. In 1891, P H Coombs, researched the origins, and talked to people who knew how the breed had been developed in the mid 1800's.

The book I'm talking about was written by Joan B Gordon, and she specifically mentions the maltese, and why people thought it had been included, but in actuality that if it was bred with the maltese, it was AFTER it had been established as a breed of it's own.[/QUOTE]

Thank you for that. This is excatly why the Biewer is NOT a Yorkie :p

correct
 

[QUOTE=YorkieRini]
correct but they bred two different yorkie's to get a biewer ( right or wrong)

ok
 

dont get me wrong i know a biewer is a biewer not a yorkie but it came to be by two different yorkies

ive read books that said it was used and thats where the yorkie gets it long silky coat from but i dont think anyone knows for sure what breeds where used. :)

thank you
 

thank that is what i have been trying to say

Yes. :D

Addressing the original question of this thread, no i would not breed a yorkie and a maltese. Not because I disgree with mixing breeds, but because of all the overpopulation of unwanted dogs in this country. It is a proven fact that mixed breed dogs are born with fewer health issues and are often times easier to train. i have seen the "morkies" or "yorkteses" as they are called and they are absolutely adorable but I wouldn't do the mixing.

Good point!! Also, let's not forget the Yorkie was created for a reason back in the 1800's; to hunt rodents. Mixing breeds today is done to make money IMO..they are known as 'Designer...'

yup
 

I know this too I read your guy's posts about the biewers that is how I learned this after putting the argueing issue aside and putting the pieces of information everyone here had said together. But they came to be by to yorkies, even though they are Biewers ( they also have yorkshire terrier in them )

:wink2: :thumbup:

Not to start that whole debate up again, But ya they have yorkshire terrier in them. Like 100%. They just carried a recessive gene that surfaced. I personally don't care if one calls them yorkies or calls the Beiwers. They carry 100% yorkshire blood.

yep
 

yes but they are considered ther own breed now and there is not much anyone can do to change that and i do understand what you are saying

Case in point. They will never lose their heritage and how these little ones came about. So call them the kitchen sink for all I care.. :D :D

Back to the orginal post...As far as mixing breeds.. :thumbdown JMO

And what is so sad is that people like celebrities promote the popularity of these "designer" dogs and people buy them up for Christmas and other gift giving occassions. Once the novelty wears off, these poor animals are abandoned and left homeless. :(

:yeahthat:

Really??????

Our shelter in the somewhat large town that I live in (400,000) appears to be the opposite of what many of you are describing.

They rarely has small mixed breeds. In fact, many people go there regularly hoping to find one. And, these people (let's be thankful for them) are definitely not looking for purebreds. They just want a "small dog" -- often because they are elderly and need to be able to lift their dogs or live in apartments, etc. There is not doubt that more people are looking for smaller dogs these days.

And alternatively - our shelter does, indeed, have a lot of purebreds. I can't count the labs and golden retreivers I have seen there....plus numerous other purebreds.

As far as breeding a Maltese and Yorkie - many of you here have small mixed breeds and love them to death. I have seen some that I would give an arm and a leg for. Our world is full of mixes and purebreds and always will be. I think the important thing whenever we deliberately have any litter of pups is that they will be happy, healthy, well taken care of, and go to loving homes.

So - I'm going to take the opposite stand and say that little mixed breeds are on the top of my list for being wonderful little pets. I have two purebreds - but if I had encountered a little Maltese/Yorkie mix while I was looking for my pup - it might well be with me right now.

This thread is about mixing a Maltese with a Yorrkie, right...Then, it moved to what breeds were combined to make up Yorkies. How did this turn into a Biewer Argument..Well...I need to stay away from these threads I get so confused :rolleyes: :confused:

I was told that yokie/maltese look just like yorkie's

:rolleyes: :confused:

disscusions
 

disccsions lead to different topics atleast i have always seen it that way.

Baiting, it's the new trend on YT.

what
 

what so you mean baiting no one was baiting anyone here.
it was asigle question that led to ten others that is all.

Who was arguing? ...smells like bait to me :thumbdown

Irene
 

hey Irene you must be the one baiting here , Quote that is why a biewer is a biewer NOT a yorkie.

you brought that up not me. so dont get ahead of yourself here.

This is laugable! and not very nice!

This thread pertains to breeding for designer puppies...is it responsible breeding? imo no...but there are many breeders and pet buys that tend to graviate to these designer breeders and we can not stop them.

My thought is why breed and mix when you have two purebred dogs? Why not wait and breed responsibly, like to like?

Whether its true that maltese is in the Yorkshire Terrier background or not...doesnt make breeding the two right!

PS it is also speculated that a Biewer has been bred with a Maltese!

JMHO

by the way
 

well actually how this lead to so many different subjects is because everyone said that a yokie/maltese was a mut and i heard that to get a yorkie ,a maltese was breed with some other terreir's along the line somwhere

then Irene ( Yorkierini ) is the one who brought up beiwers . NOT me or anyone else She did and now she is saying bait well she was part of it to then.

Huh? Well I wasn't trying to bait..take if for what you will.

PY on the mentioned arguing. There wasn't an argument. Her statement is what I consider bait. I didn't mean you...if that's what you thought :confused:

i wasnt
 

i am sorry again i was just trying to point out that discussions lead to other topics as well i was just trying to get some opinions on here sorry for that too i guess.
