Perhaps you can post the link to a breed standard at UKC that includes health performance and agility with-in the standard.
I agree that one should always breed to better the breed, and while our goal is the "perfect" dog it is a long ways off for any breed. |
This is the link to UKC's News Release regarding breed standards and the effect on the health, function and performance of the dog. I know UKC was concerned about several breeds but I would prefer not posting that information. The Yorkie was not of concern to my knowledge. It is my understanding that all parent clubs have complied or working toward compliance with this new policy.

I did not mean to get too far off the OP original subject or hijack the thread but the UKC policy is good news for all breeds and keeps the parent clubs thinking of all aspects of the breed. Thanks for asking.
