I apprecaite all the scientific info but as stated above it only gave one side of the coin. Einstine couldn't convince me that breeding to a standard is all bad. There are good outcomes as well, it's all up to the person that puts the 2 dogs together to be bred.
To compare Yorkies to humans is interesting. How many people get together and reproduce regardless of health history? When you go to your DR what does he ask you. Do you have a faimily history of heart problems, mental issues, cancer, etc...interesting!!
Go and look at puppyfind.com select 'Yorkie' and page through the HUNDREDS of pages. Look at the variety a Yorkie can come in They are all cute puppies though!! But when people fall in love with a Yorkie they fall in love with the little dog on the cover dog fancy with a red bow in it's hair. That's what people think when you say Yorkie.
