Hi all

You dont have to be a breeder to put your two cents in for this question.

I am in the process of trying to improve my yorkie lines. First comes health & intellect, that is my main concern. After that comes cosmetic type concerns. I just want some opinions. What would you change about your yorkie if You could, or what is the worst traits to pass on in your own opinion?
Some examples. Ears to big? Ears dont stand? Body to long? Roach back? Overbite? A bad coat......such as wooly? Too short a nose? Too long a nose? Larger big boned yorkie who is 2 or so pounds over standard?
Id love to hear from any experienced breeders too on which trait to not pass on first and for most, in their opinion.
