do you agree with it or do you think it is out of date and should be changed? as most of you know yorkies were a lot bigger when they were first bred but over years and as fashion changed they were bred down in size just for looks. also when yorkies were first showed there were 2 sizes in the ring the small yorkies and larger yorkies but as not enough people with the larger yorkies wanted to show then the larger size was dropped. my concern is yorkies seem to be getting smaller and smaller with more health problems, in time if this carrys on there will be no yorkies big enough to breed with. also more and more health problem. its all about fashion and not the health of the breed, it just goes to show how things are going when breeders ask a LOT more money for a tiny yorkie, why? its not breed standard, its not healthier,you cant breed with it, its because its the fashion and they know people will pay more for it because of this,and imo thats really sad. imo we shouldnt be breeding down in size we should be breeding up in size to a normal healthy weight. its so sad to see other breeds that now even have problems breathing so they fit the breed standard of that breed and i for one dont want to see something like that to happen to the breed we all love the yorkshire terrier.
