Actually some have DQ;s on height and all have major faults over height or under height standards.
Weight follows height in many cases, and we also have boney or structure standards that the Yorkie does not have.
We should have dense bones....
Oh gawd I am going all over here.
The thing is the YOrkie should not be bred to breed tinies; which I think you understand.
