Awesome!!!!!! You should do that. I'd love to chip in and have some cards for myself. I know I have a way off standard yorkie, but all people seem to focus on is his freakin size. He's 7 lbs, still within standard. If they would mention something about his soft coat, that's ok; his floppy ears, I could deal with; but when they pick on his size, the only thing that is "standard" about him, that makes me want to blow my lid sometimes.
Hugo VFO's dad, YOU ROCK! That crazy lady needed to be put in her place. I've heard some show people prefer a yorkie with long legs. Gives them a better basis to show off a luxurious coat.
I'm sure you've never heard the "what is that?" remark from people. I have; to which I have proudly responded, "He's a yorkie/pit bull mix. I can't wait for him to grow!"
Hey, a stupid question deserves a stupid answer.
