Perfect example of the breed

Haha!
..........nobody will buy Hes a keeper for me!!!
Betcha they wouldnt sell him anyway, and besides I couldnt do him justice..........But it certainly is fun and exhiliarating to dream toward a goal!

Showdogs are sure hard to try help create.. arent they? Health, spirit, temperament, coat, head, body, legs.....willing, faithful...........the list goes on and on.
I know you all do not produce a showdog every puppy but is the fact that is your goal, the perfect yorkie, or I should say the pursuit of the perfect yorkie, so whether selling a pet baby or the showdog that is your intent either way.
High standards are a good thing. SOmetimes people say if you set your dreams to high you will never reach them, but I also feel if you set them too low, well you really arent trying to do your best and you sell yourself short.

That means that while we are striving to hopefully produce the 'perfect Yorkies' we don't and will very carefully scrutinze a pet home for these puppies that we don't want to keep in our breeding program or anyone elses. They are not sold ever because of health problems.
There may be faults of too small, too big, not a level topline we want, other conformation issues that this is not going to be show dog and therefore will be sold AKC registered with limited registration or if Canadian, Canadian Kennel Club with spay/neuter contracts. Yes, all puppies sold for pet from a breeder that is purebred, should be registered verifying authenticity of purebred status.
The AKC and Canadian Kennel Club require puppies sold for pet to also hve their registration certificates to the new owner in a reasonably timely manner. Some breeders will require verification of spay/neuter certificate before the registration certificate will be processed and ownership transferred to the new owners name.
As the buyer, you get a very nice pet puppy, health guarantees that hopefully will be honoured (check out your breeder regardless), your registrations for the pup in your name in a timely manner, and you should expect any advice, help etc you need for your new member of your family.

Excellent post Lorraine. I am still waiting for my "all champion" litter. Just because a planned breeding looks good on paper (ie pedigrees), they don't always turn out that way. I am sure you agree that we are lucky to have wonderful pet homes for those that, for whatever reason, do not make the show ring. I know Roberta Rothenbach has said when she comes back in her 2nd life, she wants to be someones pampered pet. Works for me.

I'm just curious if the food your dog is eating has corn, wheat or soy in it.

Good luck - I hope you find an "easy" answer that wouldn't necessarily mean medication.

The picture of the lil guy I put up Hes a keeper, isnt dead!
I stand corrected.
I guess he lives in hungary and sold for 15,000 smackers.
Goodness...........can anyone float me a loan?

Here are the real facts on this beautiful boy.
Quote:Taz(Nicnaks Hes a Keeper)at 11 yrs old is still in perfect health and still producing beautiful babies. He lives in Germany with Beatte and Markus of Campari yorkies. he has never and never will be sold. He is THE love of Beattes life, he goes to bed with her every night and she wakes up with that sweet face every morningOh and he has never lived in Hungary.

Laurie Hunter is a friend of mine and tho I didn't think Taz was sold I did want to ask her about this before I said anything out of turn.

Bless Chachi little heart - being itchy is an awful feeling...

If you don't mind I would like to email your friend as I have one that has allergies and nothing really seems to work.
Thanks
