I know a lot of breeders do that and I don't like that either.
I'm always reading on YT about the potential health risks with the smaller Yorkies, but yet so many breeders charge more for the smaller ones. So therefore it makes buyers feel they are more valuable.
My basic point is if breeders bred and sold Yorkies to be within the standard of 4-7lbs, there wouldn't be any reason in pointing out their size over and over.
My idea of the betterment of the breed is inline with what Nancy posted.
I think we have learned this week that it's not just BYBs, but also show breeders that can fall out of line with this! |
The standard is not to exceed 7 pounds. So as I said, we have to sell the larger ones at a discount because they are over sized.
It does not make sense that we would sell the larger ones for less if we could get more for them. I would sell them all at $1500 if I could, unfortunately the larger ones need to be discounted.
