It's her personal preference and she breeds that way DESPITE some negative public opinion.
I have never seen two yorkies who looked the same and I don't know what a "traditional" yorkie is. I think that is part of the beauty of this breed. They ALL look different! Even within the "breed standard" if that is what you refer to as "traditional", there is a wide range and one day the longer snout is in favor, the next judge likes a shorter snout. One year they like "leggy" yorkies and the next season, it's short and cobby.
In my opinion, docking tails is "extreme" so we all have different ideas of what that means too.
The Biewer isn't "traditional" by any stretch and most yorkie fanciers would love to have one of them. I don't think money was what Mr. Biewer had in mind when he developed his dogs even though it turned out to be profitable. He received a LOT of criticim from "longtime" breeders. Just look at the variety on this board. Our own dogs all look different from each other and I think they are ALL BEAUTIFUL.  JMHO |
Well...I can't see how you don't know what 'traditional' looks are in a yorkie....but I wasn't looking to debate with my post either. I was just stating my own opinion....end of story - I didn't realize it would start something.
