Enjoy your yorkies. |
After several years of researching Yorkies, I have never obtained any information that the amount of white on a yorkie was an indication of health problems. A white marking greater than 1 inch on the chest is a disqualifying factor that only became effective October 1st of 2007, it had nothing to do with a health problem, only to narrow the boundaries further for what is acceptable to akc standards as far as correct color for this breed, Yorkshire Terriers.....I have seen you post the "why not white" several times and I have yet to find this site other than the breeding of Min.Schnauzers on any search engine. There can be many reputable breeders with respected lines on their Yorkies and still have traits that cross with a same and then according to the standards...a fault...It happens..I am for education on all facts in life when the time and cause call for it..but its getting old on some of these threads with the UUHHH excuse me, but your dog is uh a boo boo, its not quite like the directions say it should be..but mine here is a show dog, cause MY breeder says so.......
