I am only having one question for You.Why so many show lines are having genetically bad legs?? U are writeing down so many times "ethics", do U know who is Jeremy Bentham ? My personal opinion is
COLOR DOES NOT HURT.
Bad legs does. If a puppy comes from a showbreeder that is not automatically a guarantee that it will be healtier .(FACT that thoose puppies exteriour is nicer.) Also do U think this is a right way to fight a "war", why dont U try to do something officially thrue AKC ?Or this method works better? U are writeing down so many times that U are working to better the breed as the rest of the show yorkies.Than why no health checks are done by the local clubs ? I am not doubting that your yorkies are beautyfull, and very healthy and perfect . I am only saying as a fact that show yorkies are having generally problems with their legs! |

I have no idea where or how you got that idea? Fact is the show dog has to be sound or cannot be in the show rings. You don't just take them in and stand there. They move. The judge goes over their structure including knees. Etc. Ihave seen show dogs reach a very ripe old age and can still move like a dream. Where have you been to shows that you think this? Or had your hands on show dogs that you think this to be so?
Do you really think people that show their dogs perhaps sell show dogs from their line or offer stud services would do so with unsound stock? Guess what happens in the whelping box of another breeder if they do? Geee I wonder!
About colour, this is a good article well researched and based on knowledge of genetics.
