He's now a happy pet in my home being loved. I've started over a couple of times to insure I'm doing the right thing health wise and what the standard calls for. |
You know as well as I know there are many yorkshire terriers from top lines with off bites being shown and championed. They are not being DQ from the ring! There are modified coats being shown and championed as well. They are also not being DQ from the ring. There are dogs being shown in the ring with bad patellas and becoming champions. Do you honestly not see a problem with this picture?
I would rather breed a parti colored yorkie who is healthy to a standard colored silk coated yorkie from top lines with health issues!
