I have also read that you breed larger than 7lbs....I have been specifically told this by one breeder within this thread. So are we, the parti breeders, the only ones that are not ethical, since you, too, breed outside of the standard? |
You have to look at the
goal, they are hoping to produce a great example within standard. Breeding a dog over 7 pounds does not mean you are trying to market a larger yorkie, you may be trying to improve on hair or structure or one of the many other things that are important. I think of it as breeding
TO standard.
