But hopefully we continue to uphold/protect the standard and never loose some of the wonderful characteristics of the Yorkshire Terrier. 
Woogie Man- Thanks for posting the two. Very intersting to compare. |
For good intent. As we've evolved beyond from the horse and buggy days where people are living on farms and barns being the norm. Same holds true for the evolution of standards. Take a look at the affinpincher. No, the BOXER. WHO IN THE RIGHT MIND APPROVES DOG FIGHTING? The standard is a benchmark to strive for. Breed true to it or not at all.
