When I asked why her legs were so much longer than the 5 yorkies she had at her house and why their hair was wiry while Jazzy has soft fine hair - she again said probably a breeder issue as if Jazzy was somehow not a "real" yorkie or something - it was really odd.
I don't really care either way - it was never my intention to buy a yorkie for breeding purposes - she had her spay when she was 7 months old - I bought her because I wanted a yorkie - and because when I met her she was the cutest one in the entire litter - I am just curious tho - I have looked at many of the pics on this forum and most of the dogs I see look just like her so does anyone know about the " rack" ( high rump) or the long legs vs really short legs ? |
My zac has longer back legs than front so his butt sticks up, his mum sasha had it too.
If this lady made you feel bad next time she says something point out to her that breed standard on yorkies state they should have silky hair not wire then say never mind its prob a breeder issue.
Yorkies come in all colours, coat textures and sizes so dont worry
