Hi all. I have a question regarding something that was brought up in this thread. I used to breed Maltese and basically, they all came out white. So you might get a little lemon color on the ears but basically color was a given. Now this Yorkie thing is definitely a "dog of a different color" LOL. Just with the things I've learned along the way about breeding dogs in general... something from generations back can pop up. Does that mean an excellent dog should be thrown out of a breeding program? How about if a dog produced many above average quality Yorkies and then threw a brown Yorkie? I wonder if that warrants throwing it out of a breeding program. I have not produced a litter of Yorkie puppies but I intend to breed my girl after I finish her. So this is really just for discussion purposes. I love the subject of inheritance. Very interesting!
I've (attempted to attach )a pic of my bitch from the weekend where she got back to back majors. So, I slipped a brag in there
