We do not make a better Yorkie by changing the color, making it oversized, undersized, mixing it with a poodle or a Chi etc..the only way to make a better Yorkie is to breed by standard guidelines...the only reason to breed is to improve..and no one can say they are improving by producing incorrect colors or mixes...harsh, blunt, but this is how we think.
I would respect non-standard breeders more if they were honest and said they did not consider the standard important, are only interested in breeding pets as a hobby and profit. BUT please do not tell me you have the best interest of the breed at heart..just be honest. I love all dogs, what color they are or quality is not something they are responsible for creating..the dog is respected. |
"betterment of the breed". Gosh, I have never used those exact words, but I have strived all these years for better quality Yorkies. I must have done something right. Show? No never have. Have friends who do. I don't think I will be able to change the Yorkie world with my one pair of Chocolate Yorkies. I do see some very innovative ideas across the www for different color choices. I guess I always have wanted to produce a better quality of Yorkies that would be the smiles on faces for years. Basically, what I saw the GP wanted when they would call me. And I do see a trend, and I am sure you all see it too.
