"Coat
Quality, texture and quantity of coat are of prime importance. Hair is glossy, fine and silky in texture. Coat on the body is moderately long and perfectly straight ( not wavy). "
Which standards do you follow when deciding which of your dogs should be bred? I pretty much know what to look for in a standard yorkie to know if they are breeding quality (especially after having to decide to spay my first girl), but I am not sure with the partis. Better to ask, than to take it for granted. |
I had a sneaking suspicion that this is what your previous comment was leading up to ... you wouldn't be following parti threads around trying to create a ruckus would you ?
