 size
I moved to south FLorida from Maryland 3 yrs ago. I realize many are showing a smaller Yorkie now in all areas...but the ones here are too small for me...not just weight, but a very refined frame, tiny heads and faces..not my type ring dog..a pet id different. I like a good 6 to 7 pounder..but that is what I am used to seeing. Lots of leg and neck, tons of flowing coat and furnishings...coat growing doesn't seem to be that important now...unless it is NY or a Specials...
I do not like a lean, lanky Yorkie...I had an 8 pound champion bitch who was very square, compact, not oversized to the eye..she could stand next to a 6 pounder and not look out of place..obiviously the judges did not care she was 8 pounds..infact she was probably closer to 8 1/2 when she was coming into heat.
People have always shown oversized and I guess as long as they win, they will continue, but for the most part I think size and color will revert back to what it was 25 yrs ago...a much shorter, compact, darker Yorkie. JMO |
