I had to make a comment in regard to Chocolate yorkies. A lady I know has one, she is quite pretty and to date at 3 years old, has had no health problems, she is spay. This is the only chocolate I have ever seen in person and her good health may be a fluke in a chocolate. I know nothing about them except they are a mutation, so what the norm is on typical health is a mystery to me.
I wouldnt breed for them, because they are not a good representation of the breed but I wouldnt consider a breeder lying if they called them "rare" because in truth they are not a typical coloring born in most litters. Im sure they would make a good pet just like any non perfect yorkie does. I do agree they should be nuetered or spayed.
Paying a higher price for one is really no different then paying a higher price for a teeny yorkie and people do that all the time. Teenies shouldnt be bred either and have tons of health probs. Those tiny weights arent listed in the akc standard to my knowlege either. In regards to showing.
My feeling is if someone is willing to pay for something different and want something different then by all means let them. But I do think a breeder should tell them this is a mutation etc....
SOme people dont want to show, they just want "something different" and as long as they arent breeding them, its cool with me.......these babies need a good home too.
Im not condoning breeding for chocolates, teenies, parti colors...etc but some people want that type of dog, and by their being a market for for this it will continue.
I happen to love the look of german Biewers with the white in their coat and would love to have one!! But the difference with that is, they are bred to be that way and are a different breed, so in that dog its standard..............but I wouldnt breed for a chocolate or parti yorkie because its not standard for the american yorkie and by doing this I would be going out of the standard. Which Is not acceptable.
Besides if someone with a chocolate yorkie wanted to join this forum.......they would be scared off !! I know you guys would oooo and ahhh over their brown baby too.............you bunch of softies...............lol

Lord Im windy tonight.
