Why would you want to breed a dog that looks like a fox, and has course hair into your yorkies. I do not see how this would improve the breed?  http://www.yorkietalk.com/forums/bre...-confused.html |
The old timeers believed that the gene that causes the red leg, also helps to impove coat quality. I believe that is what I read. So many of them kept a red leg in their program to put back in, what the in breeding took out.
Imagine that a how breeder breeding a yorkie that did not conform to standards, to produce dogs that did conform.
