The god part was based on altering the yorkie to create the perfect breed.
There where a few post saying i should not bc she does not meet standards and those state less the 7# well, depending on what club you are looking at. AKC, UKC etc.
My point was, pure is pure and if you are a good breeder trying to improve the breed them it should not matter if she is less then 7 pounds. I can start a club today and in 7 years you will see posts saying that it does not meet my club standards lol. That is basically what i was saying. Improving the breed does not mean to breed within the standards. Someone here said it the best and sorry for forgetting who said it but they said that it was a templet but many do not think so.
Its not a option bc we have moved from Texas and im not so sure it would be the same and im not to sure if Mollys father is still around. I would have to call them if i can get ahold of them again. All there info is on her paper work.
Forgot to add, if someone wants a show yorkie then they need to pay for one and someone who trys to create and breed withing those standerds on perpose then they are doing it for the money, my thoughts only..

First you have repeatedly mentioned UKC and AKC standards and seem to infer that there are a whole lot of differences in the two standards. And you repeatedly mention weight. The standard in both clubs is the SAME on weight 7 lbs- and at first blush they appear to have more in common with each other than differences.
Here is one of my points. So you personally don't like a weight cut off of 7 lbs, what about the person who thinks a curley coat is cute, so they ignore the part of the standard that calls for long straight silkey coa?. Now let say another person, happens to like a really large head with a long snout, so they don't like how the standard describes what the head should look like. Now understand they all have "purebred" dogs, but it would not be all that long, before a Yorkie won't look like a Yorkie anymore, if one deliberately breeds out coat/color, weight, head, shape etc for the Yorkshire Terrier.
I would suggest that prior going down the road further with deciding to breed your Yorkie you get the health tests done on her. And you make sure the "stud" has those self same tests done. In an earlier response I elaborated on what they were.
And temperament or personality is only 50% transferred from the mother. You still have the sire's temperament to consider along with the high likelihood that at least some of the pups might be closer to the sires' versus the bitchs' temperament.
You like to research? Then I suggest you take a real good browse through our sick and emergency forum here. Should be an eye-opener for the discerning mind.
