That's not what I said at all. I said "... they appear to look very much like the Yorkies we see winning at AKC dog shows ..."
I KNOW they are NOT of show quality. My point was that facially, they LOOK very much like the standard - like AKC Yorkshire Terriers.
It appears to me like you girls are giving the impression that small dogs will have health problems and that non-small and AKC registered dogs do not. To be fair, generally this may be true, but is NOT ABSOLUTE. To the OP and others who may be concerned with this issue... Point of fact - Our 'teapot' yorkie we got from a small kennel, who, at that time, bred exclusively Yorkies, is AKC registered and weighs 14 lbs. She looks less like a Yorkie than these Velvet Touch Yorkies, she's had both knees operated on for LP, she's got allergies and other health issues. In addition, frankly, she's a little neurotic.
I've read many posts from YTers who have NOT had health issues with their small Yorkies.
In closing, all I ask is for us to use a little more discretion, restraint, and understanding when discussing other kennels, their breeding practices, dog sizes, appearances, etc. |
everyone is just expressing their opinions here. that's it. you are the only one who seems to be getting upset over this.
but i do have to disagree with you.....we DO NOT see yorkies like her's winning in the show ring. I am sorry but NO.
And regarding the health issues of breeding tinies purposely....some may live a healthy life but MOST will not. And what about the mommies??? Most of them probably have c-section after c-section to have these puppies.
Very Sad.
There is a huge difference from a puppy who just came out small and one who is bred to be small.
