"Comparing your dog to someone elses does NOT make or break you as a breeder."
PS- You shouldn't be comparing your dog to any other dog in the ring or outside as far as determining a dogs worth for breeding anyway. If you showed, you'd know this. It's about your dog and how it fits the standard. If there is a dog in the ring w/ you and he/she fits the standard better than your dog that day, THAT dog places higher than your dog. It's comparing the standard to your dog, not dog to dog.
Please, please, please remember that. More people need to get out and really experience this breed and make educated opinions on that. There is so much more to Yorkies than just being a "lap dog". In fact they excel at being more than that which is one of it's most unique qualities being stuck in the Toy Group! |
