We have a forum full of members who adore Yorkies, we talk about them all day. If breeders toss out the standard, before long we will be talking about an animal that slightly resembles a Yorkie, acts somewhat like one and where will be alot of posts about "what happened to those REAL Yorkies they used to breed???"

Would you buy a car from a manufacturer that told the employees to just wing it...? You might think that is not important in a dog..BUT to me it is vital that I follow the standard..how else can I produce these darlings we all love so much?

Thank you for saying this!
