lgol but when i've contacted the breeder couple days ago, she says she she's not sure about the show, but he will "most defintely be a breeding quality".

This statement kind of confuses me. If your breeder is not sure if he is show quality, why would s/he think he was breeding quality? The main reason most folks breed their Yorkies is to get the perfect Yorkie per the standards for the breed (can find the breed standards on the YTCA site) and to always improve the breed. These standards are what Gemy is referring to in her critique.

There are many darling and cute Yorkies, but they are not all breeding quality. Doesn't mean they aren't loved and loving and delightful pups. Just may mean they are not close enough to the standard for the breed and would therefore not be show quality.

That being said, I have had a Yorkie that was nice, but not show quality and one that was show quality. The health and confirmation difference was evident. I loved them both dearly, but spend a ton of $$$ on the one due to health issues and almost no money other than dental school on the show quality one.

So get familiar with what the standard for the breed is. Look on YTCA (Yorkieshire Terrier Club of America site) and go to some Yorkie dog shows.

I just volunteered at the most recent national Yorkie Roving show at the Health Clinic and was amazed at how many of the show dogs did not pass the patella test and were advised not to breed due to passing on that flaw.

Good luck with your breeding education. I applaud your desire to ask and learn.

BTW your pup is a cutie!!
