Just like in other breeds where people are breeding for extreme flat facedness or some other characteristic thats not in their standard |
Per AKC's website:
"Early shows divided the classes by weight - under 5 pounds and 5 pounds and over. Size, however, soon settled down to an average of between 3 and 7 pounds, resulting in only one class being offered in later shows."
i just think its wrong to be altering a breed, yorkies needs to stay at there true form, all shapes and sizes regardless what users prefers.
