I had this one girl from a great show/exhibitor and this girl was a little doll. This was back in the 80's. I showed and showed her - no points. The judges loved her, but all of them said she was just too small. I kept holding on to her in hopes she would grow. She only got to 4 pounds. Some shows she looked better than the others, except just too small. I finally asked the last judge I showed her under (Tampa show) why she gave the points to another yorkie and she stated it was because she did not want to waste the points on my little girl. She was just too small for breeding and better to give the points to a bitch that would be bred someday. I learned a very valuable lesson that day - to always look at your dogs with a critical eye!
