Now, six years after buying her, we are testing for liver problems because she is so off standard. We don't know what her breeder was thinking. Please don't breed a dog that is off standard, especially if you aren't 100% sure that she came from a line of very healthy Yorkies. |
you are so right and you (like many) come here on yt and question why their yorkies is soooo big? why doesn't she have a silky coat? her parents were small, why is mine so big? why, why why. this is due to people breeding outside the standard. you may love you little girl and think she is the sweetest thing in the world but "what will the offspring be like?" you sell your puppies to a loving home and a year later they are here on yt wondering "WHY?"
