If the dog is pure then why not? That's what is about right keeping it pure?
Intentionally breeding a dog for smaller size is wrong just to meet standards written by who? Someone who thinks the dogs should look like this? Yorkshire terrier will always carry the traits of a Yorkshire if it's getting breed by a Yorkshire. Yorkies where created by watersides and skyes. If everyone follow these standards then there will not be a Yorkie.
Just because she's not below 7 pounds doesn't make it right for someone to say no. This crate health problems thus not better in the breed. |
Breeding should be done to better the breed and that means following the standard. Many people think that pure with pure is ok to breed and that it's fine but its not and that is causing us to have many many Yorkies that look nothing like Yorkies and it is damaging to the breed. Do you even know your dogs lines? Not knowing the lines could end up causeing her to have a pup or puppies that could be born with illnesses that cause them pain and suffering. It's not just about that standard but the standard is there to keep the breed looking like Yorkies and not other breeds.
