The problem with the other registries is that they take the breeder word for it; you don't really need proof. Unfortunately, some breeders lie, but just because your dog isn't standard doesn't mean he isn't a Yorkie. Good breeders breed to standard, and don't breed dogs over 7 pounds, that keeps the offspring in the smaller range, but even then a it's possible for a larger Yorkie to be born of smaller parents. I always recommend that buyers look at the parents, to get a better idea of how the puppy will eventually look. Lots of people love their plus size yorkies, and I think they are really great for families with children, or those who have other larger dogs. |
