I understand where you are coming from, but I think that she was just trying to say they are beautiful because they are all so healthy looking. They have all obviously come from good lines, and it is nice to see such beautiful yorkies.
While I agree, it is nice to see the diversity, but it is also good to see that there is a standard. I believe that breeders should strive to better the breed, and there are a lot of them out there not doing so, and that is what causing the diversity.

Second, I love see all different types of yorkies. Big ones with cottony coats, little ones with silky coats. Long tails, floppy ears, erect ears, long muzzles, short ones, "blondes" and burnettes. Isn't that part of what makes our babies special? |
