for some of us that know the basic yorkie standards it's hard to tell on good dogs show quality from non show quality, but LOL most should know at least that the ears should be up and the coat a bit darker. When I bought all my purebreds that did come from show breeders they were four months old, but with these dogs they could tell there was something that would not make them right for the ring, they even had some puppies that they were holding on to just a little longer because they were still not sure. That is why I am always suspicious of breeders that claim they show or have show quality dogs that sell them and take deposits when the dogs are just born. This probably sounds awful but I don't feel sorry for these people that come on here after they buy a puppy and wonder if it is purebred or even up to standards. How hard is it to spend some time looking at photos on line of standard yorkies. 30 years ago when I bought my first yorkie I was in my late 20's but I had enough sense to get my butt to the library and look up information, now all you have to is goggle yorkie images yet some people don't seem to bother. I am buying some new frying pans and LOL I bet I will spend more time researching that then some people do buying a purebred dog. |
