I didn't mean that I feel there is anything wrong with buying to standard in any way at all. I actually always have with my other dogs, and would most likely have started to look for a new puppy at a breeder eventually. My little puppy just happened to find me, and it was love at first sight. I think what I meant was more about the tails being docked. I agree that the attributes that make Yorkies so beautiful is because of the standard look that reputable breeds work so carefully to achieve . But the tail being docked is a human thing done to the dog after its born, not before…So, its not like a short tail will ever be passed on to the next generation. I think I should have kept my mouth shut, lol. I'm in something I don't know enough about here. |
