In otherwords, experienced breeders that know yorkies and have an eye for a dog.
I've finished a few at the age of 14 months......however, my dogs come from a long line of Champions that are up front and throughout their pedigree, and from a breeder that has finished well over a hundred Champions herself. Not to mention those that have been sold to others and Championed.
Does that make sense. |
yeah i can see that the young AKC champions are worth more. its harder to get there and if that dog is going to champion young then it must really be something. and i agree that most dogs that do champion that young with AKC are probably from more seasoned breeders who have many champions in their lines.
my issues are about the UKC ones since those are less likely to have the same background that the AKC ones do.
