| In the south where I'm originally from we call them "sooners". Sooner be one breed or the other. But not yorkies in any way. I wish people would stop mixing pure breds. We work so hard to keep the breed standard and then someone comes with this idea of these so called "hybred" dogs aka still mixed breeds. Anything to make money.

I am not sure why breeding two different breeds that are AKC registered would somehow be better. They are still mixed breed pups, not purebreds. | |

I do sometimes see more 'honest' ads that say mutt or mixed breed for sale and are offered at a very reasonable price maybe $100 or $150 for a large breed mix, about $300 maybe for small breed. | |

| thanks. it usually gets a chuckle. My Mom used to come up with some great sayings. My favorite was when she would tease me about eating so much and say she would have to start "hugging and chalkin'" me. It means that she would have to chalk the spot where she ran out of arms to keep hugging. I still laugh at that one.

| Today's Yorkshire Terrier is very different from the early Yorkshire Terriers of the North of England. There are varying accounts of the origins of this breed and its development. Before 1750, most British people worked in agriculture. The onset of the Industrial Revolution brought great changes to family life. In Yorkshire, small communities grew up around coal mines, textile mills and factories. People were drawn to these areas to seek work from as far away as Scotland. They brought with them a breed known as the Clydesdale Terrier, or Paisley Terrier. These were primarily working dogs, much larger than today's Yorkies, and were used for catching rats and other small mammals. These terriers were inevitably crossed with other types of terrier, probably the English Black and Tan Toy Terrier, the Waterside Terrier, (varying in weight from 6 to 20 pounds), the Broken-Coated Terrier of a blue-sheen body colour, with tan legs and face and weighing approximately 7 to 10 pounds, and the Skye Terrier as described of fawn or silver gray and rom 10 to 16 pounds; it is also thought that at some stage the Maltese Terrier was crossed with these breeds to help produce long coats. As the outline of the Maltese resembles that of many of today's Yorkies, this is very likely. Unfortunately, no records in the form of Pedigrees exist to confirm these cross(possibly because of the poor level of literacy in these times), but a great deal is known about the type of people who bred them, and there can be no doubt that early breeders had a very clear idea of the type of dogs they were attempting to produce. We can see in today's Yorkies how strongly the terrier temperament has been retained. If you read they are saying to make a yorkie they had to mix breeds. With a maltese i know they say there are no records but im sure to make a yorkie they had to mix 2 breeds so whats the big deal about mixing a pom and a yorkie! AND BY THE WAY IM NOT JUST DOING IT TO MAKE MONEY I MAY KEEP ONE OF HER PUPS! Last edited by jewels26; 11-07-2006 at 10:15 AM. |

| i need to add that all my dogs growing up were mutts from the spca and my first adult dog is a yorkie-poo who i and my whole family and friends adore. i personally do not see anything wrong with mutts, hybrids....as a matter of fact, i want a briewer which is a cross between a yorkie/maltese from germany. these dogs will soon be akc registered purebreds.
