Hmmm...yeah, pretty much. Also, the more you are exposed to it, and the more you research and study the breed itself. The more you will know exactly what you are looking for. The more you will be able to pick up physical characteristics of dogs and lines and evaluate them for yourself. |
No, most will say their Yorkies with have no faults to prevent them from being an excellent breeding or show prospect.
BUT...when dealing with a Yorkie from known lines you have the advantage to see much of their stock in other lines and the ring...
BUT...do not consider a dog from a linage when it has perhaps one or two of that breeders dogs in the line...shoot, don't even consider half the pedigree..
A breeder can work for decades and produce a tip top dog or bitch...and bred to another line ONE time can bring in many undesirable faults and health problems...look at the breeders body work, not a few peds,...
The biggest fault I have in my Yorkies is retaining color...some can go too light, too young...but I will take a diluting gene Yorkie over a non-diluting one...The Wildweir sisters told that long ago...
