I can't help wondering why those that say they don't care about the standard want a purebred Yorkie. If you are not interested in having a Yorkie that meets the standards, wouldn't it be better to rescue a mixed breed than to breed more nonstandard dogs?
I don't think anyone is saying that the dogs that don't meet the standard are not beautiful lovable pups but why would someone deliberately breed or purchase one that is not the standard of the breed you supposedly want?
I am not intending to offend, just really wonder.
