I understand that showing is a different cattle of fish. But if my yorkies are standard, well they are just as good as the next standard show Yorkie. |
You are very right and this is the point I was trying to make. exactly what you said!!! Show people DO know the standard. That's why you see so many of them petting out their dogs or selling them instead of showing. Knowing the standard does not guarantee that all dogs born to a show breeder or anyone else will fit the standard. That's why we keep trying to improve on what we've got. Show and non-show alike.
