I'm not baiting anyone, Irene. I never have. An argument is a collected series of statements to establish a definite proposition...I didn't mean fight here..

The "Biewer argument" is what Platinum Yorkie (which is far more respectable than PY) merely stated, that is not a bait because we all know how you differ with the origin of the Biewer than most other Biewer owners and it is a constant agrument on this forum!!

Thank you Ms. Webster's Dictionary..lolol
Well the word argument is rather strong IMO, maybe I dont' know what baiting is then.. :confused:

No one thinks this of you Irene. I am spending too much time on YT so I know the direction these threads are going. This isn't fun anymore.

Back to the question. I would not breed a Yorkie and a maltese. But My first Yorkie was a Yorkie/ maltese. mix and looked just like a yorkie. She was the best little dog but had so many problems One being her back legs was way longer then the front ones. and she had been stepped on at a few weeks old. I do know a lot of people that are asking for this mix breed and would pay lots of money to have one. They are so cute. But again no I would not mix them.

I love reading your posts, dskeeter. You're absolutely right about this one. There is speculation, some more educated than others, but no one has any proof.

this is my whole point.
 

ok sorry for even bringing up the yorkie maltese question.

first of all i started the whole mixed breed thing then me and jeanik got into a disscussion about wht breeds where mixed to get a yorkie then
Irene and I got into another discision about biewers this is a mess i agree and i give up on explianing i dont think it is doing me any good here.
i am starting to judge people and i dont think that is right to begin with so lets forget that i even asked about mixed breeding and go on to the other threads and enjoy our day on YT. :) :thumbup: :) :thumbup: :)

Well, now you have a problem with me too??..sheesh!!

You just confirmed what I said, PY's said she was confused. But you're saying she wasn't..isnt' that bait? I'm just asking. I dont' know how to bait.

well well well
 

I dont know what this thread is leading to but i am soooo lost now . lol

I have mentioned the arguments that have ensued on YT over several topics to my fiancee. Granted he is not a real dog person (although he loves our little Nicky) but he just shook his head. He doesn't understand the passion people feel about topics and to him it is just "people fighting over stupid dogs." I disagree about the "stupid dog" part but it does give us food for thought. Do some people realize how ridiculous they come across when they allow themselves to become insulting to others merely over a disagreement in points of view? It would embarrass me to see myself stoop to such a level as to insult people I don't even know over such trivial things. Most times I express myself in an educated fashion but please allow me to refrain from that just a second. COME ON PEOPLE, STOP BEIN' SO GHETTO!! (lol just wanted to lighten the mood ;) )

LOL how you mence words Irene, confused how the thread got on to Biewers ...you brought them up! which they have no place on this thread!

now whos baiting? Et Tu Brutus

sorry to everyone but I am going to stick up for myself. There are a few members that are internet bullies!!! And they like to pick on me.

Ok..I can see how you would interpret if you didn't know me. But you can read all the threads I've posted and I have never baited!!! I brought up Biewers because I felt it was a good time to clear the air about the confusion of them. You are reading between lines that aren't there. I am more than willing to say maybe I made a bad call. This is not the outcome I was looking for therefore it's NOT baiting! Now please leave me alone!!! :mad: :mad:

It is guessed that the Yorkshire county miners crossed the Black and Tan English Terrier, this dog was rough-coated, and the long-coated, blue-gray Waterside Terrier breeds were infused in the Scottish Terriers. The Maltese and Skye Terrier are also possibilities.
-------------------------------------
The ONLY reference I have (and others have found) to the Maltese being used was a pronouncement by a "dog writer" (a reporter of sorts) of the day (cira 1880's). In one of his critques of a current dog show......he remarked as to the extreme improvement in the "silk coated Yorkshire Terrier" of the previous 20 years or so. There is mention of the reporter and his proclaimation in Joan and Janet Gordon's book...."The Yorkshire Terrier". And when I saw this in the book.....I researched and found the original article.....this "reporter" was basicly just making note of the "improved silk coat". He could not believe ordinary breeders had been able to accomplish such a feat.....they just had to use the Maltese blood. <G> I have many books from the early years of the Yorkshire Terrier....and none of the breeders of that era agree that this was done.....after all....how in the heck would they retain the saddle pattern....a Maltese does not have a saddle....it is all one color. And a Yorkie does have a unique body style.

i dont blame you
 

OK I THINK THIS IS GETTING OUT OF HAND HERE I AM SORRY I EVEN BROUGHT IT UP AND WHO STARTED THIS WHOLE BAIT THING.

Irene didnt bait anyone i missunderstood her no one baited any one it was a typical conversasion that is now a brawl should i start charging people to read it.

lets go on and get a long like this day started. I DID NOT WANT ANYONE TO FIGHT HERE>

I have never picked on you ever Irene, nor am I a bully. You are impuning my character now, and that is defamatory!

dskeeter1983...you have a maltese in your avatar...Is this the Malt you mean to breed ? I got confused by the thread...and as I read - I see most people wouldn't mix intentionally...but I didn't really understand the question...

Did you get another puppy ? Or are you breeding or getting a mix from someone ? The mixes are adorable but personally...I wish people wouldn't do this intentionally.... but in OUR world ...there will always be mixed breeds.

As long as they could all be loved....then people wouldnt have such strong feelings...I think we think MIX & SHELTER in the same thought because there really are so many homeless unloved pets out there....

We see many sites on the net breeding Maltese to yorkies - they really do make cute puppies... but each breed on it's OWN is just perfect and I don't understand the need to mix unless of course... it's an accident.

no
 

no it was just a question I have no male yorkie hello. I AM KEEPING THE FEMALE SO I DONT HAV ETHIS PROBLEM. Tia is to old to breed i think. I was asking just to ask not to start a huge fight .

Baiting means bringing up something that you know is a hot issue...and BIEWERS IS A HOT DEBATE BETWEEN SOME HERE... And, I think the person who brought it up knew what could happen. I tried in my first post to get this thread back to the original post...not start a feud...I am sorry for my actions on your thread dskeeter..and I am not posting on it anymore!

Cindy there are several places that speculate the Maltese may be mixed into the Yorkshire terrier

here are a few
the breed was gradually downsized, perhaps in part, by covert crossing to the Maltese. In 1861 it was shown at bench shows in England under the breed name, Broken-haired Scotch Terrier. Whether it got its official name in 1886 or 1870 is also uncertain. The wealthy fanciers of the day, did not look favorably upon the breed at first, because of its humble heritage, but gradually they accepted this undeniably beautiful dog

The Maltese, Black & Tan Manchester, and Dandie Dinmont Terriers may also have contributed blood lines. At first, the Yorkie was a much bigger animal than the one we see today, but by selectively breeding the smallest individuals, the dog was gradually miniaturized over the years. They were made into a fashion dog.
http://www.dogbreedinfo.com/yorkshireterrier.htm

Description: The Yorkshire Terrier's heritage is a mixed, and somewhat mysterious one. Most likely he is a cross between the Dandie Dinmont (a black and tan terrier) and the Skye Terrier, and was developed in the western regions of Yorkshire, England where he started out as a ratting terrier. Further developments, which included a smaller and smaller frame over the years and the long silky coat, are possibly a cross with the Maltese

Waterside Terrier breeds were infused in the Scottish Terriers. The Maltese
and Skye Terrier are also possibilities. These terriers were inevitably crossed
with other types of terrier, probably the English Black and Tan Terrier. We
must not forget that one of the oldest terrier breeds known in the United
Kingdom is the Welsh Terrier, an essentially tan dog with black saddle who
traces its ancestry more direct then most to the old English Black and Tan
terriers who are the forefathers for many of terrier breeds known to exist
today.

LOL...I thought maybe you were planning to get another puppy....There are some Maltese / Yorkie mixes here but I forgot which members have them...

no thanks
 

well i have two dogs that belong to me BOTH FEMALE and three kids four if you count my husband i dont need no more dogs. :)

Look at my history. I do not like to start trouble. I will apologize if something I say or do does, because that is NOT my intent.

Now, Monet', if you truly and honestly weren't jabbing at me then I apologize to assume you were. That's what I felt you were doing so that's why I said it.

This is another thread that seemed to of gotton off the topic.
I use to come here a lot and looked up to a lot of you. I have watched people bait and I dont think there was any baiting going on here. but this thread like others seem to have gotten out of hand. Just the way you all did with Kim .........I know everyone agrees or disagrees. and some people just love all the drama. alot of you showed me your true selfs by Following Kim to all the forums she joined. You wanted rid of her so bad that when she was banned you all followed her to other forums and doged her. I thought that was so childish and could not believe what I saw and read. I never had a problem with her and if I didnt like what she said I just didnt post. and I think some of you just dont have nothing better to do. Its people like you that ruin it for everyone else.Im not mentioning names because you all know who you are. I leave it at that. Im disapointed in a lot of you. :thumbdown

Wow. You've said what I've wanted to say!! :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup:

How some can be so Kennel Blind, it kills me.

Gotcha....I see...and HOPE your question was answered :) When you said "I'm keeping a girl" I thought you were getting a another.... :)

I count my husband as one of mine too sometimes...only THEY'RE more work:D

:eek:
Look what happened to this thread!!!!
I took a break to have my nails done,
and come back to this.
Really, this thread started as a question, now it's a mess. :(

Now remember, we are all friends!!!!

Happy Green Day!
:D :D :D :D :D :D

This really needed to be said. I hope she reads it.

I have a yorkie maltese mix and the breeder that I got him from purposely breeds them, I know some of you dont like that, but I am glad she does it because I would not have my little astro. Here is a picture, how can you not resist this cute little face, haha.
