When dogs have faults, they can't be shown or bred. Faults are, what ever is not on the AKC standard for yorkies. Some faults that can arise are off-bites, over the standard 7 pounds, curly coats, bad bone structure, ect. If a yorkie in that line has a fault shouldn't be bred. If those yorkies are bred, they carry on that family line, and the yorkies produced from that line will most likely have those faults as well. The
only reason for breeding is to
better the breed. When dogs are inbred, those chances of faults are increased. Same as when humans are too closely related...LOL
I think what Mardelin was saying is, that each breeder has a certain type of "look" they are breeding for. Whether they like yorkies with lightly shorter muzzles or yorkies with super glossy hair, each breeder's type of "look" is different.
Please YTers correct me if I'm wrong.
Do you want to breed her?
And just curious, what breeder did you get her from?
