I honestly hope that the breeders out there who are breeding for bigger healthy yorkies continue to do so. No matter the size a yorkie is a yorkie. Whether one is 4 pounds or 15 pounds neither is less and they both are small dogs. Anyone one who gets a yorkie that ends up bigger and they don’t want them because of that hit me up with pm. I have lived my life not being wanted because I am bigger so I have no problem taking those pups that aren’t wanted because they are bigger. |
And that's fine. If that is what you want. But what I am saying is more breeders, in fact, ALL Breeder should make the best effort to BREED TO THE STANDARD FOR THE BREED! And our Yorkie's Standard, calls for a dog 7 pounds and Under! Let me repeat, AND UNDER.
Should Breeders breed ONLY for size????? OF COURSE NOT! THAT is my whole point.
No dog is perfect as far as the Standard goes. However. When a dog weighs twice what the Standard for a TOY breed calls for, it is NOT bred correctly or well.
A 4 pound Yorkie could be inside a Conformation Show Ring. A 15 pound Yorkie is not.
Let's be honest.....what do MOST Yorkie Owners talk about....what is the first question we are asked????? WEIGHT! How much do our dogs weigh. So yes. It matters to us whether we will admit it or not.
