Oh boy do I agree with you guys.I come off as a know it all most of the time when I talk to people I don't know and sometimes my family.I have been resaerching this breed for over a year before I came to yt.and even then it didn't keep me from purchasing a yorkie who is too long,high in the rear,bad coat,retained testicles,and god only knows what else.I waited till he was 4mths to get him.book knowledge and people advice is good but I tell you hands on will win out 10to10 every time.I love my little guy but I can't bear buying another that will not meet my standards let alone the breed standard.I have two cousins who have yorkies and they will tell you they knew nothing about the breed just liked them a bought one and thiers are turning out way nicer than mine.chuck that up for a know it all read everything.breakes my heart.I have spoken to a few show breeders and they were so nice to me and willing to talk about yorkies but to get one from them was another story.look I just wanted a beautiful quality yorkie. spay/neuter them before they go and you know who is serious or not.
