Hi Linda, I'm Irene.

In reply to your comment on there are many more show quality Yorkies that aren't show. I've talk to may long time show breeders who produced years and years of Champions. I've always been told that a show quality puppy aka 'the entire package' is few and far between. Comparing breeding programs of a show breeder and a non show breeder. I would think that the non show breeder would have even less of a chance of producing the 'entire package'. I mean no disrepect, but to say that there are plenty of Yorkies out there that can be champions is just not true. Look at puppy find for example. I can't get past the pictures of the Yorkies. I'm not expert by any means but I can certainly tell the majority of the pups on there are NOT even close to the entire package. Heck, many don't even look like Yorkies.
To be honest, if there were so many show Yorkies out there they would be showing and winning right now. I can tell you that when I first got into breeding, I wasn't thinking about showing. But I've produced something that I think is worthy enough of putting in the ring. Even though he has some faults, he's closest to show quality I've produced. Not to show him would be silly. Again, just wanted to give my spin this topic, not trying to argue with ya.

Thanks.
