Thank you both so much for your kind words!
We are over the moon with him

@bjh
He is a tall boy (leggy) and he weights at the moment 3.2 - 3.3 kilos. I think this is his ideal weight considering his body. Muscles are developing and we want to keep him in the best shape possible. He is still 16 months.

As for the reach and drive, Sunny has good and balanced angulations (front - rear) but I think that its the leg length that also helps in relation with his body.

I am still learning about conformation (and I must say that I have a lot more to learn) but I am a bit confused because there must be a balance between breed type and soundness. I really don't know what the limit is with yorkies. Each breed has its standard and its own way of moving. Yorkie standard and history don't tell us much about how yorkies should move. At least its not that crystal clear.

I wish we had more conversations like this...


@Gemy, this video shows the developing stages from 8 weeks till 16 months.
There was a time during 6th and 7th month of age, that everything was out of place and then suddenly everything was ok.
I guess it is true that at 8 weeks of age you see a miniature of the adult dog and you don't look back till the dog fully develops.
