Yorkies are not supposed to be that small and good breeders strive to get dogs in the 4 to 7lb range. These people that think it is better to have a tiny dog are just stupid |
Those are my thoughts exactly, how can a female under 4lbs be SHOWN when they really shouldn't be bred? Aren't show dogs meant to be bred to keep the show line going? they are disqualified if they are neutered/spayed and to be honest a female under 4 lbs should be neutered/spayed as it is dangerous for them to produce.
I could see a smaller male being show possibley but a female? Of course Yorkies come in ALL SHAPES AND SIZES but to be shown there are rules.. Maybe the judge I spoke with was speaking of what they look for when judging 4-7 lbs.
