Terriers
of the British Isles by Darley Matheson 1922, published John Lane the Bodley Head Ltd.
The American Book of the Dog,
edited by G O Shields. The Yorkshire terrier by P H Coombs.
"Originally
designed as a sporting terrier, the Yorkshire has gradually passed into a lap-dog". "Various theories have been
advanced as to how the Yorkshire came into existence, but all probability is that it has been manufactured from
a small Waterside Terrier and the Skye Terrier, and this theory was that which Mr Eastwood, the breeder of the celebrated
Huddersfield Ben (1865-1871) - adopted". "There would not be much difficulty in verifying this experiment,
and all that would be necessary, would be to procure a small Waterside Terrier dog and mate it with a good bodied Skye Terrier
bitch or, for preference a Clydesdale Terrier" Huddersfield Ben as bred by Mr Eastwood of Huddersfield was
passed into the hands of Mr. Jonas Foster of Bradford, a Pioneer in this variety of terrier".
Mrs. Mary A Foster
of Bradford, England, who in writing of her dog Bradford Hero, the winner of ninety seven first prizes, is quoted as
saying in 1885/6 The Century Illustrated Magazine and written by Mr James Watson of Philadelphia "The
pedigree of Bradford Hero includes all the best dogs for the 35 years back (1840's), and they were all originally
bred from Scotch terriers and shown as such until a few years back" "The name Yorkshire
Terrier was given to them on account of their being improved so much in Yorkshire".They were all originally bred from
Scotch terriers (note: meaning dogs from Scotland, not the dog a Scottish Terrier, which is a very different type
and breed of dog) and shown as such...the name Yorkshire Terrier was given to them on account of their being improved so much
in Yorkshire. Yorkshire Terriers were shown in a dog show category (class) at the time called "Rough and Broken-coated,
Broken-haired Scotch and Yorkshire Terriers". Hugh Dalziel, writing in 1878, says that "The classification of these
dogs at shows and in the Kennel Club Stud Book is confusing and absurd in lumping together these different types. In
the early days of the breed, almost anything in the shape of a Terrier having a long coat with blue on the body and fawn or
silver coloured head and legs, with tail docked and ears trimmed, was received and admired as a Yorkshire Terrier".
Mr
Ed Bootman of Halifax furnished an article for The Stock-Keeper & Fanciers Chronicle, 1887 "Swifts
Old Crab, a cross-bred Scotch Terrier, Kershaw's Kitty, a Skye, and an Old English Terrier bitch kept by J Whittam, then
residing in Hatter's Fold, Halifax, were the progenitors of the present race of Yorkshire Terriers"
"These
dogs were in the zenith of their fame forty years ago" (this would be 1847 then)It goes on to describe, "The owner of Swifts Old Crab's
was a native of Halifax a Joiner by trade. He worked at Oldham for sometime as a journeyman,and then moved to Manchester,
where he kept a public-house. Whether he got Crab at Oldham or Manchester, I have not been able to ascertain.
He had him when in Manchester, and from there sent him several times to Halifax on a visit to "Kitty",
the last visit would be about the year 1850".
"Crab was a dog of about 8lbs or 9lbs weight, with a good Terrier head and eye, but with a body
resembling the Scotch Terrier. The legs and muzzle only were tanned, and the hair on the body would be about 3" or
4" in length, he has stood for years in a case in a room at The Westgate Hotel, Halifax".
"Kitty was a bitch different in type from Crab. She was a drop eared Skye, with plenty of coat of a blue shade,
but destitute of any tan on any part of the body. Like Crab, Kitty had no pedigree, she was originally stolen from
Manchester and sent to a man named Jackson a saddler in Huddersfield, who when it became known that a £5 reward
was offered in Manchester for her recovery, sent her to a person named Harrison, then a waiter at The Swan Hotel, Halifax,
to escape detection. And from Harrison she passed into the hands of Mr J Kershaw of the Bishop Blaise,
a public house which once stood on the Old North Bridge, Halifax. Prior to 1851 Kitty had 6 litters all of which I
believe, were by Crab. In these 6 litters she had 36 pups, 28 of which were dogs and served to stock the district with
rising sires. After 1851 Kitty was passed to Mr F Jaggar, she had another 44 pups making a total of 80! I
enclose for your inspection a copy photo of Kitty". (so it seems Mr Ed Boothman, had physical evidence of Crab, as him
being in a case for all so see, and a photo of Kitty, which I am looking at, and she certainly looks like a typical Skye).
Mr Whittam's bitch whose name I cannot get to know, was an old English Terrier, with tanned head, ears,and legs and
a sort of grizzle back. She was built on the lines of speed. Like the others she had no pedigree. She was sent when
a puppy to the late Bernard Hartley, of Allen Gate, Halifax., by a friend residing in Scotland. When Mr
Hartley had got tired of her he gave her to his coachman, Mason, who inturn gave her to his friend Whitham, and Whitham
used her for some years for breeding purposes""Although this bitch came from Scotland, it is believed that the parents
were from this district. (Halifax). Mr Ed Botham then goes on to give Huddersfield Ben's Pedigree, together with the picture,
one which I have seen reproduced in many of the written works of the late 18th century/19th century to this current day.
I also want to add the foot note by the editor of the Stock-Keeper [Feeling the importance of all facts relating to
the origin of the breed, we have had the photographs enclosed by Mr Boothman engraved, and herewith present their likelinesses
to our readers. The dog has appeared before, but we attach most value to the picture of Kitty, who may be termed the mother
of the breed]
The last-named writer has so fully identified the three dogs first employed to manufacture
the breed, together with their names, ownership, characteristics and other facts concerning them, that there can be no doubts
as to the authenticity of the history of the origin of the breed.
The Stock-Keeper, has never been publically contradicted,
and I have given the exact article, or portions thereof, as I have in my possession that very article. There is however an
earlier article by Mr G H Wilkinson (of Halifax), which seems to have given rise to Ed Boothman's article stated here,
which I will at some later point write up for all to peruse.

The Scotch Terrier
So now I will give you the exact description of the dog the "Scotch Terrier" as described by Vero Shaw and Dr
Gordon Stables in The Illustrated book of the dog, who were assisted by the leading breeders of the day.
The gentleman
who on several occasions judged the breed a Mr Mossison writes:
"Every dog has it's day and thanks to the continued
efforts of a few admirers of the "Hard Haired Scotch Terrier", there is every likelihood of "Scottie"
being better known and more appreciated, both by authorities on canine affairs and the public generally. than he has been
since the advent of dog shows". "The Scotch Terrier is supposed by many to be the proginator of the Irish Terrier".
"General appearance: is that of a thick set, compact, short-coated terrier, standing about 91/2" high, with body
long in comparrison, and averaging 16lbs or 17lbs weight for dogs and 2lbs less for bitches, with ears and tail uncut. Colour:
is various shades of grey, or grizzle and brindle, the most desireable colour being red brindle with black muzzle and
ear tips". (Please refer to modern day "Scottie" for further breed info).
The reason I have included
this description is because there seems to be a mis-understanding with current day "Parti" Yorkie breeders, who
chase the books of history looking to find the ancestory of their mis-matched designer dogs. Stating any old section from
a book, in their endeavours to justify the breeding of white into a traditional coloured yorkie. They have seen the show classifications
of the 18th century for Yorkie's given under "Broken-haired Scotch Terrier" but have not researched what this
actually means. Alas they are searching for something that did NOT exist a "white" yorkie.....Like I have said before
ladies...read the links I have given you and should you wish to continue to breed your white designer dogs of the 21st century,
do not try to fool others into thinking they are or ever were a pure bred traditional Yorkshire Terrier. We have never had
white yorkie in the originating country not in 163 years!

(Taken from the Stock-Keeper, Ed. Boothman, 1887)
Written by James Watson, in The
Century Illustrated Magazine, as stated above, the exact article, which I have in my book collection here in the
United Kingdom.
"By common consent the title of dandy of the dog world has been given to the little exquisite
whose existence we owe to the pains-staking breeders of Huddersfield, Bradford and the surrounding district of Yorkshire,
England". "Some of our authorities have attempted to throw a great deal of mystery about the origin of the Yorkshire
terrier, where NONE in reality exists". "If we consider that the mill operatives who originated the breed by careful
selection of the best long-coated small terriers they could find were nearly all ignorant men, unaccustomed to imparting information
for public use, we may see some reason why reliable facts have not been easily attained". "These early writers show
but little knowledge of the possibilities of selection". "Stonehenge, for instance, in his early editions
speaks of it as being impossible for a dog with a three inch coat and seven-inch beard to be a descendant of the soft-coated
Scotch terrier without a cross of some kind". "The absurdity of this is shown when within a few years of
the date of his writing Yorkshire terriers were shown with twelve inches of coat". "Then again he speaks of
the King Charles spaniel as being employed to give the blue-tan, than which a more rediculous statement could not
have been penned". "To get a blue and tan, long, straight, silky coat, breeders were not likely to
employ a black and tan dog with a wide chest, tucked up loin, a round bullet head, large protruding eyes, and heavy spaniel
ears". "The idea is so absurd to entertain for a moment" Mr Watson then goes on to add, he has in
his possession a letter from Mrs M A Foster (which I have already quoted in the previous paragraph as confirmation of her
dogs ancestry). There is another interesting paragraph here, which I will add for your perusal and interest:
"The
proper color of the Yorkshire terrier is a blue body, with fawn colored face shading off into a tan on the ears". "
The ears, which are usually cropped, show darker than their surrounding head coat". "Fashion ordains that the blue
and tan shall be the color, but the silver-bodied terrier is decidedly preferred by buyers of house pets here (America)".
"Dealers are not slow to take advantage of this, and the silvers which are comparatively worthless in England are imported
in large numbers to satisfy the popular demand, and a handsome profit realized on them".
(So there we have it NO
white Yorkie were being exported for LITTLE money by British breeders, but American dealers were very quick
to take up the highly lucrative "Silver" coated Yorkie and sell them on for BIG dollars $$$$$, well well, that sounds
very familiar does it not with the "Parti" breeders, yet again, next we will be being told that, we here in
the UK, have sent over some Pedigree White Yorkie....Oh I forgot we already have a few "Parti" scammers here
in the UK, who have jumped on to the American "Parti" band wagon of late, unfortunately for them our UK Kennel Club,
do not recognise these colours, unless of course they have fraudulently registered a cross bred Yorkie, who has had the
white inbred into them, as an accepted colour and are hoping in a few years to have another miraculous conception much
the same as is being told happened in California, with the Nikko's kennels!)(Like I say Buyers Beware, where
there is an opportunity for scammers to make money off the back of someone elses hard work...there they will be, ready to
pounce like rats in the gutter!)

Mr James Watson, writing in the Century Illustrated Magazine, also
wrote:
"Toy Terriers" "At shows there are usually two classes given - one for rough-haired toys, and the
other for smooths under seven pounds. The former is made up of a lot of little non descripts, with sometimes a toy
Skye terrier included, but for the main part they are mongrel Yorkshires or small broken-haired terriers"
So this would imply the Skye were either coming up small under seven lbs?, or were being confused with the Paisley/Clydesdale
terrier (which have never been a white dog!)
| Paisley Terrier |
|
We know the defining colours of
the Skye are Grizzle Grey/Silver Grey /Cream with Black Points, prick eared and drop eared."The Bishop of Ross &
Dr. Caius are the first writers to have described the Skye in the later part of the 16th century. The Rev.J Cumming Macdona,
in Webb's Book on the Dog. In 1576 an incident did happen, by which foreign blood was introduced amongst them. Lady Macdonald,
of Armadale Castle breeder and owner of this new species. Kept this particular strain pure and distinct from other Skye breeds."
The real history of the Skye terrier started in 1874 onwards. George Clerk, head Gamekeeper on the Mull Estate of the Duke
of Argyll, went to reisde in Roseneath. These types were being dispersed about 1843, (Colours: Fawn or cream with Black Points)There
were at this time 3 distinct types of Skye from border areas of the Scotch Isles. Noted written colours of Skye: Dark Grey/Black/Reddish
Yellow/Silver Grey mixed with Tan.
(IT SHOULD BE NOTED THAT SKYE TERRIER NUMBERS ARE NOT AS HIGH IN PREVIOUS
YEARS, IT IS TO BE HOPED THAT THEY DO NOT MEET THE SAME FATE AS THEIR COUSINS THE PAISLEY/CLYDESDALE)

Clydesdale
Terrier Club was founded in 1887 and Kennel Club classification in 1988."With excpetion of the texture of the coat, the
Clydesdale responds to the description given under the heading Skye terrier. The body colour should be bright Steel Blue,
the head legs and feet to be of a rich Golden Tan". Some of the best specimens coming from the kennels of Sir Claud Alexander,
Bart. PURITY OF COLOUR, IS AN ESSENTIAL FEATURE OF THIS BREED.
Kennel Club Stud Book 1884, for the year 1883: under The
Skye Terrier
Mr Pratt's dogs show many times: Glengarry (9585) d.o.b 20/8/1878, colour blue. Pibboch (14,095) d.o.b
24/1/1882, colour dark blue, very good coat, by Piper (4652) out of Janet (8708). Sandy Grant (10,920) by Sam (4655) out of
Quick. Blue Bell (14,100) d.o.b June 1882, colour dark blue. Janet (8708) by Donald (5606) out of Haggie
(5618)
It should also be noted that Miss E J Dalziel showed Skye: King of Borva (13,822) d.o.b 1/2/1882, colour Steel
Grey, prick eared. And just as another point of interest is: Dandy II (12,035) HRH the Prince of Wales, Sandringham, Norfolk,
by Donald out of Jessie, who was placed 2nd at York. (I believe this is testiment to the popularity of the Skye
at that time!) Although there is alot of missing information as regards sire and dams pedigree's being noted it seems
Mr J Pratt's dogs were the earliest by far to be registered within the Kennel Club Stud Book and shown at venues in that
day in England. Mr Pratt's address is recorded as being: 54 Praed St, Paddington, London. Colours prevelant Blue/Dark
Blue/Bluish Grey/Dark Grey/Steel Grey - Prick Eared)
I have a great article written by Mr Pratt in the Stock-Keeper
1886, giving wonderful details of the full facts of the history of the dog, also club notices for meetings of both the
Skye and the Clydesdale, there were two different clubs, held over by differing members.
The arguement as to the ancestry of the Yorkshire once being a white
dog, seems therefore, to be unfounded, had there been a pure White Paisley, Clydesdale, Skye who are proven to be in
the ancestry of the Yorkshire it may have held a debate. To merely speculate the coat texture of the Yorkshire was obtained
by a cross breeding with a Maltese, would serve little purpose to a breeder as these textures were ready to be found
in the Paisley, Clydesdale anyway. It is therefore more reasonable to speculate the small white obtained on the
chest of some Yorkshire Pups may have been obtained through the Skye, which has never been a white dog, but within
the breed have a classification of Fawn or cream (Roseneath) with black points, however as I have already written above, this
particular breed colour were not widely circulated, as their originator was to keep them pure, and would have been very
expensive for Mill workers to procure.
Lets not forget here it was the Mill workers, who are credited with the
origination of the Yorkie, it has been written they were illiterate! They were certainly poor, they sold their dogs for little
money, to see them being sold in America for big dollars (well that rings true again today, with the "Parti or Tri"
Yorkie pushers, in the UK also). Like I have already said...if we were to have had white Yorkshire terriers in the 1840's....unregistered
they would have been, and they would have still been sold to British, Irish, Welsh & Scots....to live within our
homes as pets...so where are your "Parti or Tri" Yorkshire terriers..where have they been for the last 140+ years
within the originating country.......

This leaves the Waterside Terrier and
Black & Tan Terrier as having been discussed as being one of the breeds used in the make up of this little Yorkshire dog.
Any reference to be found on the early Manchester Black & Tan terriers is that of a dog in weight between 10lbs
to 24lbs, there were to be no doubt smaller versions, classed as toy as of todays standards. The Waterside or Airedale
as more commonly known has a weight of 50+lbs. So it would seem only common sence to conclude the Black & Tan
Toy, as having it's part in the make up of the Yorkshire Terrier.The English (Black & Tan)
Toy Terrier ideal weight 6-8lbs, height 10-12" at the shoulder, these terriers history is rooted in the black and ratting terriers of 19th century England. These were a utilitarian dog whose prowess at
rat killing was highly prized in the vermin infested towns which grew up during the industrial revolution, and also on the
farms and sailing ships of those times. The ‘sporting fraternity’ of that period were quick to see the potential
for a bit of gaming by matching dog against dog in specially constructed ‘rat pits’ in the taverns. Some remarkable
times for the number of vermin killed are recorded....‘Billy’ was said to be capable of dispatching 100 rats in
5½ minutes....however, when the sport was made illegal their popularity continued and they were exhibited at the fledgling
dog shows of the time. A fad evolved for miniaturizing
them and this weakened the breed so much that it nearly brought about its very extinction. Fortunately, enthusiasts of that
time got to work, managing to reinstate the breed and stamp characteristics on it that we know today. A Breed Standard has
been produced which lays out the ideal size and the distinctive markings that are required in an English Toy Terrier. It should
also be noted that the English White Terrier, although never very numerous has been described as to be in every details except
colour a replica of the larger Manchester (Black & Tan)Terrier, bearing in mind they did not come in the toy variety
and weighed 15 - 18lbs., looking at early pictures of this dog type it is easy to see the Bull Terrier if some what more refined
in stature and features, and an all together less aggressive type and was said to be a good companion dog.
The Show clissification around the time 1874 for the Black
& Tan Toy, would show the "Toy Black & Tan under 10lbs", as being: Class XLV-Toy Terriers, smooth coated.
