(granted i did not research breeders very well and didn't know to do this until i came here) don't get me wrong. i love her to death and she will be with me always but this is not what i wanted or paid lots of $$$$$$ for. i wanted a standard yorkie. this is how i found yt (like many others) wondering why my dog doesn't look like a yorkie????? and thru yt i have learned about the poor breeding of yorkies. now i have three more yorkies that are within the standard and i love them just as much.
when we see that face and love it.....and we get one that does not have all the yorkie traits, we begin to question????is this a yorkie????was there a mix????? not that we don't love our dogs but we want to know WHY???
i hope this answers your question |
It does - Thank you!!!!! - I've only fell in love with Yorkies about a year ago - It took me that long to convince my husband we needed one - Maybe if Baxter looked different than he does I'd have to know why too.
