I know standard is 4-7 but there are runts in litters. And you can have a akc registered puppy with a soft instead of silky coat it just can't be a show dog. So please don't talk to me like I don't know what I'm talking about my great aunt is a akc judge. Thank you |
Anyone can be an AKC breeder it doesn't make them knowledgable in the breed. Just as long as you keep good records is all that is necessary.
The standard does not say 4-7 pounds. It says not to exceed 7 pounds.
Any
reputable breeder would never sell a breeding female to breed prior to the age of 7 months and that did not have all the qualities of a show dog. Never sell one as a breeder with a soft coat either. Let alone sell one under 5 pounds for breeding.
Yes you can register blue and tan/black and tan and parti colors too. That doesn't all are breeding quality.....
Your great aunt is a judge.....wonderful is she qualified to judge yorkies.....every judge has to complete a provisional term within each breed. If she has completed her provisional status as a yorkie judge, she would be the first to tell you that you only breed the best representation of the breed.
