I also never saw a picture of the grandfather until today when this all started being discussed, or I would have been weary, and probably would have backed out.
So yes i was expecting a much smaller dog. It is my opinion that a breeding standard exist for a reason, same as papers etc which is to identify a breed. Dogs who are not within that standard to me are not really in that breed. When reading the standards online, i dont feel that Ralphie has really met any of those, except coloring. I just dont think there is any point in getting a yorkie that doesnt look like a yorkie. I will not be breeding him anymore, after hearing what everone says and knowing that his puppies could turn out like him which is not what a yorkie buyer is seeking. and yes i also agree with everyone that he is SO CUTE. ha i just love him, but i am truly disappointed in how big he is getting.
I will say that I did a great deal of reading before I got Ralphie and i was terrified of getting an unhealthy yorkie. I know that is a reoccuring problem and ralphie has been the picture of health since day one, and for that I am grateful. |
I am sorry to hear that you are disappointed with Ralphie being large, but you said ''I did a great deal of reading before I got Ralphie', did you not research the breeder before purchasing Ralphie? It seems like it is a hard lesson to learn but you know what to look out for next time you buy a puppy. I think also that the larger yorkie shouldn't have been bred, however at the end of the day, you have a beautiful boy, that is healthy, and that is the most important thing (imo)
