But, when I as a pet owner am looking for a yorkie, I'm looking for one that meets breed standard, not one bred for faults. I wouldn't want a "chocolate yorkie" or "golden yorkie" either.
No offense was intended. I looked at it as a local breeder in my area inquiring about what people prefer. |
Your first sentence puts the majority of Yorkies into the category that you have decided the parti and Biewer are...."not Yorkies". Do you consider yours to be purebred, even if they don't meet the standard? If every single Yorkie met the standard, then no show breeder would ever have one for sale because, as they say, they are only breeding to have the next show dog. There would be no pet Yorkies out there, except for the occasional retired one and even a lot of those have lost the standard look...lightening of coat, top-line off a bit, weight too much/too little....does this make them less purebred because they longer fit a written standard? If we, as you say, go based solely on the look of a dog to decide genetics then how many pure Yorkies have you ever encountered?
It's a good thing that there's no written standard for people....boy would we all be in trouble.
