I agree with Chachi's mom...our Chester is super duper long and is about 8lbs and we get super rude comments from people "oh my, he's so big" "he's so long" wow, is that a yorkie or silkie" "is he a purebred" "is he within standards" or people give him the look of disgust. We got him from a breder back when we didnn't know about breed standards, we got him because we thought he was a sweet dog. He has a beautiful face and the breder lied that he was healthy...on the other hand, the 2nd time around, we did it right after some research. Our other girl Zoe is within standards, small (shouldn't get bigger than 4-5 lbs) pretty as can be, has a nice square body and a nice thick coat. We love Chester and don't care about his size or body structure but I feel sorry that strangers always give Zoe all the attention and not him...sometimes we try to not take this personal...
Don't do the same thing that particular breeder does for the sake of the dog.
