There really should be no one asking does my yorkie look like a yorkike or a mixed breed? How come my yorkie that had 6 lb parents is 15 lbs? Why does my new yorkie look nothing like my first yorkie. There should be alot more consistancy in the way a yorkie looks and temperment. There also shouldnt be so much liver shunt, lp and other disorders affecting so many yorkies. Not only are breeders not breeding to the standard they arent breeding for healthy yorkies either. That is just debilitating to the breed. |
So very true... What I have notice is you don't see enough breeders doing testing whether it be ofa, eye cerfs., ect... and imho that should be a given.
