It was the best line she had. 91 champions between the Dam and Sire. I got pick of the litter.
I know he may not ever be able to be shown, I not that niave. However, after much research on the champion lines he comes from I am please with him. Of course everybody has their opinion about what they want in their yorkie. I beleive Stryker has potentail, as does his breeder. I value her opinion, she is on YT all the time. She has more knowledge than anyone I have ever talked to. She could have sold me a yorkie 8 months ago. But she didn't want to just take my money. She genuinely cares and I haven't seen that often in my experience with breeders.
Also one note I bred GSD for 11 years, I trained them in tracking and schutzhund. I attended schutzhund trials with judges from Germany all over the US. One of my pups is a search and rescue dog. Yorkies, however, are a (horse of a different color).....so going from 100lb shepherds to a 5lb yorkies is all new to me. I am anxious to learn and only want what's in the best interests of my yorkies and the Yorkshire Terrier breed. All I can do is try. Fail or succeed the lessons learned are valuable ones. |
Good Luck in your endeavor... |
