You will know when you pick up one of these dogs. They have a well built, well muscled body. Tami's Conner comes to mind as dog with a correct body type. Donna - considering who bred Radar and the success he is having, I am sure he has the correct body type. I would love to get my hands on him someday. |
Radar is as long as he is tall, very square, he's just up on leg and not short and cobby but tall and lean, elegant like...
When I think of cobby, it's shorter with more substance...not so much of an elegant dog but more terrier (as a yorkie should be LOL).
But personally I like an elegant yorkie but has to be square as in what was described above.
I have both but prefer Radar's build more so than a shorter stocker dog.
Thank you for the compliment on Radar
He's holding his own in the show world right now LOL...I just love his breeders!
