I did not say that I was uninterested in his conformation as I had him evaluated by a qualified breeder. All I was saying was that I originally asked what tests to put him through and instead I got stuff about showing etc! Do you automatically think that everyone just wants to breed for money/puppies? Or could their motives and passion be as pure as yours??? I think that people like you and all these other breeders who don't go to the "breeders section" anymore are responsible for much of this breed's deviations due to the fact that no one can ask a question about breeding without getting beat down for it!
I LOVE THIS BREED AS MUCH AS YOU DO AND WILL DO EVERYTHING IN MY POWER TO MAKE DOGS THAT ARE HAPPY, HEALTHY AND CONFORM THE THE YORKSHIRE TERRIER STANDARD!
Now I would also like to thank the person who posted all of those useful links to the tests etc.
