You must make sure the breeder knows the standard and has their dogs evaluate to be breed worthy (including tests).
And yes, I have seen people asking too if their dog is purebred when their coat does not grow, they are the wrong colors, size question, etc... One can breed of quality and one can breed and get different polar examples of the breed. This thought comes to mind - "Buyer Beware." One needs to educate themself on the breed. |
It's still really easy for me to remember when I knew nothing! By the way, I love your avatar, the one picture of the Yorkie walking with its nose in the air is priceless! Absolutely captures the Yorkie essence!
