 breeding
Scanning the threads, the pet owner DOES care about conformation, faults and recessive genes..people post about ears not going up, bad knees, liver shunt, cotton coats, roach backs, coat won't grow, bad bites, is my Yorkie really a Yorkie, do I have a Silky/Yorkier mix, why is my Yorkie oversized..too many to list.
My goal as a breeder is to produce a happy, healthy, well adjusted Yorkie that is an excellent representation of the breed standard ..and we should expect no less of anyone who breeds a litter, whether they are a pet or show breeder..why do harm to the vary breed we love so much?
Who in good conscience can ask hundreds of dollars for a Yorkie and have it look or behave nothing like a Yorkie..that is why the standard is vital..it is the breeders blueprint on how to make a Yorkie..breeding to the standard is giving the pet owner what they are asking for... disregard the standard and you are breeding blind.
