What is being discussed is a breeder stating in her answer to: Are the parents of your puppies within the size range of the stipulated Yorkshire Terrier Standard? The bitches may be larger Larger can be 7 1/2 pounds.
Keeping in mind this breeder has been breeding for 35 years, produced multiple Champions and has a well established line. This no fly by night breeder, she knows her lines and how to breed them. She knows every dog within her pedigrees backward and forward. Knows what her dogs will produce. She has completely emersed herself in the breed. Has been handling dogs since she was a child, and finished many dogs from various breeds. She is a vet tech. But, what is at the top of her credentials is her envolvement with the Canine Health Information Center and making it manditory for YTCA members to have their dogs tested.
