But if you stay with the standard and stay ethical then I see no problem. I would still like to see breeders show because showing of course is my passion. LOL

Donna,
I like you prefer the showing over the breeding....Whelping a litter is not my favorite thing to do, I just hate the possibility of something going wrong.
Since showing I've learned more about the breed, than having my nose in a book studying and attending classes........The standard only explains so much, it doesn't explain, correct lay back, correct gait, single tracking, correct undercarriage, rear angulation......how to spot a yorkie that is to close in the rear, or wide in the front......
