Cool

Villette - I agree with you. There comes a time for everyone to speak their minds, and a time to stop!

Kim - I agree with you too about the size part. I've seen Yorkies weighing less than 5 pounds, yet structurally bigger than most Yorkies weighing 5-6 pounds. I don't think that a females WEIGHT should be the only thing to consider when deciding on breeding! It should be their overall size. And even that sometimes is questionable. I'm sure you've seen some really tiny females (physically) that are just about 5 pounds, and some larger females that don't weigh more than 4 pounds. So I think you are right in making the determination on structure, rather than on weight. IMO

I too am curious to know how to measure the pelvic size only without doing x-rays. I have very mixed feelings about x-rays, which I won't go into.
