Just like the "human breed" Yorkies come in different sizes, faces, ears, and colors. And they are all Yorkies regardless.
I may sit Gizmo next to Kaji and someone might say they don't look the same, but, their both still Yorkies.
I've seen cotton coated yorkies, silky yorkies golden yorkies, blue yorkies..The list goes on, but the end of the day, it's still a yorkie.
And with regards to size, Gizmo is almost 6 lbs...And yet the YT user Britster has a 16 lb yorkie named Jackson. Someone might argue that either my dog or Jackson is not a Yorkie but, once again, it's not the case.
I think alot of people get an idea of what an animal breed is supposed to look like from media influences as "acceptable" for a breed.
Similar as to how the media influences oh what we find as "acceptable" for a female to look... |
