If you buy your yorkie from a reputable show breeder, then I can almost garantee that your yorkie will look like a show quality. The definition of a reputable breeder is one that breeds to breed's standard. Therefore to better the only breed. As long your yorkie's pedigree consist of mostly champions, then it should look like what a yorkie should look like. Reputable breeders strive to produce dogs that conform to the breed's standard. Show or pet quality, that puppy should look like its parents, grandparents, ect. My maltese Gigi was held back for show, but couldn't be shown because her bite went slightly off, too small to be bred, shy personality, so she would be sold as a pet. Neither of Gigi's parents were Champions, but Gigi's pedigree has mostly champions in it. Her breeder told us her parents did not like the show ring, but she felt they both were perfect examples of the breed standard.
Although Gigi has some minor faults, everywhere I take her, everybody always ask if she is a show dog.
You do not need to buy a show quality yorkie to get show quality looks. Whoever told you that was wrong.
I personally don't think that yorkie in the picture is show quality either. It looks like a nicely groomed pet quality. lol JMO |
