I'm Sorry to say this but.....What "Standards" AKC or otherwise?
One word - "Breeding"! A Yorkie should look and act like a "Yorkie" period, there should be no question or doubt about it's Breed? I've seen too many
bad looking ones. All puppies are cute but what do they grow-up to be?
I know too many friends & family members with Yorkie's that puchased them with such high expectations and they are all disappointed b/c thay are not "Teacups" and too big, not the right Color too light or dark, poor hair quality their hair hardly grows and is not silky. Their ears don't stand up. No personality, their not smart and consistantly have health problems.
I hear all the complaints since my Sister has 2 Yorkie's, 1 was from a Local
Pet Store and the other from the Internet! So I get to hear her complain every day. Breeding is Everything, too bad too many Breeder's breed for the Money instead of breeding a better "Yorkie"! Some one will eventually purchase her no matter what she looks like, regardless of the price b/c she is a Yorkie! Does she even have Papers?
