It's discouraging to know that people think less because he is over the standard. He has his UKC papers and is considered a pure Yorkie. I have also discussed this with his vet. His vet feels the same way I do. Yorkies come in different sizes.
Nevertheless I love him.  |
Just because he
can be used as a stud physically, doesn't mean that he
should be used as a stud. You are correct, Yorkies these days do come in all sizes, unfortunately--a result of breeders producing dogs with no regard to the breed standard.
I'm sorry to say, but I have to agree with what everyone else has stated. Although I'm sure your little guy is a very handsome charming little one, he should not be used as a stud as his weight is way too far over what is called for by the breed standard.
I would suggest that you find a reputable mentor to work with--which you should do anyway if you are trying to become a resonsible breeder. I doubt that you will find any proven Yorkie breeder who would be an advocate of breeding an off-standard dog. Sounds like your vet is either very uneducated on Yorkies, or also lacks a regard for the breed standard....not advice I'd want to follow.
Please consider having your guy neutered and enjoying him as the spoiled prince he deserves to be. There are far too many ill-bred, off standard Yorkies out there as it is. Please do not further contribute to the problem.
