Yorkies have a higher c-section rate than a lot of other breeds, probably because they are small. Size is appearance. Appearance is vanity. So now we are back to a cosmetic issue, really. So it could be said that by breeding larger Yorkies, there would be less risk (pain and potential harm) to the mother(s). So we should change this standard too then? |
Well, me personally, would LOVE to see larger Yorkies. I think the standard should be upped to 10lbs. I think that'd be GREAT!
I really like how the Poodle has 3 different sizes. Because you get the same breed but in different size packages which is awesome.
