takes deep breath as feeling a bit . breed standard was set by some snobby men in suits sitting in a room, who gave them the right to say whats breed standard or not? when yorkies were first shown there were 2 yorkie sizes one for the small yorkies and one for the larger and imo the true full yorkie, but not many people with the larger sized yorkie or should i say normal sized yorkie bothered to show them as i would think there were just pets owned by normal people with a family, the small yorkies were shown as they were bought by people who used them like some kind of fury fashion handbag so as there were not enough normal sized yorkies that were being shown that size was dropped and along came the breed standard. yorkies that were small were called the runt of the litter in the early years of the breed and were seen as useless and worthless and would have more health problems a lot were killed as no one wanted them. then fashion changed and everyone wanted a small one so the price went up. ive had small and large yorkies and i never bought any of them because of there size i bought them cos i fell for them. if this lady was told it would be breed standard then she should have some money back if she wasnt then she shouldnt, i seen no reason why the dog cant be breed with aslong as he is healthy and the buyers of the pups no they could be large and not for showing.
