I am very curious why Brynstar in the last year has
3) 2 pound dogs listed on puppy find that are a year old
and Izzy and her litter mate that are currently 10 pds?
Wouldnt that mean there is a deffinate problem with this line ?
From an outsiders point of view this seems extreem for someone that breeds " show quality dogs" |
The standard reads not to exceed 7 pounds.
By no means am I taking up for Brynstar. However, in breeding to improve the breed with the best representation of the breed and because the Yorkshire Terrier was comprised of so many breeds. It is possible to produce two 10 pound litter mates with a 2 pound one.
No reputable breeder would sell a tiny, but would place it in a qualified home that understands the possibility exists vet bills may be incurred. Reputable breeders don't want to sell heartace.
However, no reputable Breeder/Exhibitor would place a breeding dog prior to 7 months of age and the dog must have all the qualities of a show dog, with a stringent contract and expect it to be Championed.
