The first great hurdle for a successful breeder is to recognize a high class Yorkie when he or she sees one .
Knowing to recognize the qualities and faults in our breed is very important , to be honest with ourselves during evaluation is a must . |
Amen to that! I see so many yorkies in the ring that shouldn't be there hence shouldn't be bred. I see so many bad rear movement, front movements and off top lines and goes from there and they still finish and breed them....one should evaluate their own breeding program and be honest with themselves! I see so much "kennel" blindness....
I may be showing my Molly who is on the small side but she has awesome structure and movement and I'm show casing my breeding program but she'll never be bred because she's just too small for me...although I have been told by some very reputable and responsible show breeders that tell me I'm nuts for not breeding her because they think she's not too small but for me personally she is so hence she's just show casing the type of structure and movement in my breeding program. I know her faults and if she had more than 3 she wouldn't even be considered to show at all.....I just wish more people would research everything with health being of the UTMOST importance! What ticks me off the most is "I just want my childrent to experience the birthing process, or I want to give my family a pet" UGH!
