but thats my whole point it shouldnt be about what WE want, it should be whats best for the breed. people wanted flatter nosed bigger headed bulldogs and now the breed is paying for it, with there lives.
we dont know what damage it is doing to the breed, having smaller and smaller yorkies being bred, but in time we will, when the breed is so small it dont even fit in to the breed standard now, when these little mites go in to shock cos there bodies cant cope, when more and more defects happen, when this breed dies out.
dont get me wrong i think the little ones are really cute and i prefer the smaller yorkie but to me its not good for the breed.
