I agree with the points Villette brings up.
IMO When I purchase a Yorkie and pay a lot of money I want a puppy that is going to be within standard. That is the reason I want a purebred dog so I know what it will grow up to be. It also seems to me a lot of the non standard looking ones end up is Rescue because people did not research prior to buying and when it doesn't look like a yorkie they expected they get rid of it. I have a pom whi s/b 4-6 lbs and she is 13 lbs. Do I love her less, no, but I would have preferred she had stayed true to the standard. I also think that until puppy mills are out of business you will never have control of a breed standards. |
