Sure you may get a better idea of how your dog conforms to the standard by having a judge go over it but it is possible to do it without showing too. Also to say he wont throw pups that closely resemble the standard because he doesnt have papers is just ridiculous. Of course since he isnt AKC registered, the pups cant be shown and it is best to breed dogs that are AKC standard but you are going a little over board by saying the pups wont resemble a standard because he doesnt have papers I think. Give the girl a break...........

How do you know you're breeding to standard if your dogs have never been evaluated by a judge? I'm asking honestly, because I already stated why I said it wasn't possible.
I didn't say he won't throw pups that are closer to the standard because he isn't registered. I said HE couldn't of been bred to standard because HE isn't registered (again, my earlier statements). One dog with a roach back plus one dog with an overbite does not equal a dog bred to standards (for a more extreme example). My Yorkie's parents are registered and she has a roach back and an underbite (overbite? I get them mixed up). The difference is, she probably came from a puppy mill. Were her parents ever evaluated by a judge? Guess not! Maybe the puppy mill owner had another breeder look at them. That breeder thought the dogs looked good (compared to the breeder's own Yorkies, who's muzzles were longer). Do you see my point?
I'm not trying to be a jerk, but come on, why would any of us be encouraging someone to breed Yorkies that could have serious health problems? Do you know how many Yorkies there are in shelters and rescues that those of us who like going to the vet could adopt and take that chance on? I hate seeing my baby sick or in pain! My baby, and her breed, deserve better. We should all be advocating responsible, ethical breeding of our breed. Why would you permit or encourage less?
