Ytca Akc KIM...when the English wrote the standard, they did not realize they would be dealing with breeders who had no common sense.
Several members have quoted parts of the standard and these traits are impossible to achieve in poor tempermented Yorkie...not all is spelled out word for word. As a lawyer I realize you like to see it in writting LOL, but think about it..a doctor does not learn everything from a book..they quickly realize there is more to removing an appendix then what they have read, if they have common sense. Like with any profession, breeding whether hobby or show is a hands on learning experince. The standard is the start, a basic guideline.
The English started dog showing so the breeders could compare dogs, learn and improve...that is the place to learn and advance your knowledge..in the operating room.
