Not that a pedigree is necessarily that important, but I wanted to know everything I could about Toto's bloodline for genetics, etc. She has an excellent pedigree and I thank God every day for our truthful breeder and my healthy, happy little girl. You would think if someone had the nerve to price their pups like that they would proudly show pictures, pedigree's, etc. of their sire and dam? All the pups had that look in their eyes that I have seen in so many rescue babies ... it is a scared, distrusting look. Also, what the heck is an "Applehead" Yorkie?? That's the first time I have ever heard that term used in reference to a Yorkie.

A pedigree is very important when breeding. A good breeder can recite it backwards and forwards.....identifying every dog within that pedigree, over all structure and health.

Applehead is not a new term, however, breeding for this is incorrect. Applehead discribes a dome head.
