| Thank you all for your comments! I just wanted everyone to know a few things.... Judy is very adamant about her lineage being shown and has even offered to do the handling for me or help me in any other way possible to get my boy Championed. She has actually been so supportive of me showing! In her lines, the boy in particular that I am interested in, include Durrer, Parkside, Nealstar, Braecliff, Nic'n'ak, Everdears, Pastoral and others. She has an iron tight Contract when it comes to breeding rights and who may have them and when ie. they are championed. I think it is pretty bad to publicly slander someones dogs, even outright saying they look like they have a very serious disease. She loves these dogs, they live in her house, she talks about them like they are her babies. I completely see where people may see that she advertises smaller dogs as a warning sign. But in Alberta where we are people are selling "purebred Yorkies" that end up 20+ pounds, so I can see where she is trying to distinguish her dogs from others. She also goes above and beyond what most breeders I've talked to as far as testing her male and females. Her and I have talked way more about a Yorkies coat then the size of the dog. Just ask her about temperament and she will talk about each of her dogs with such love and pride. Her price is another thing and really it's not that much higher than other breeders I've talk with? Anyway I wanted to put my experience out there so people could judge for themselves.

| Thank you Nicole.....everyone does have there own opinion on what a perfect yorkie is.... even the judges have there own opinion on a yorkie, one day you could be winning at the shows next day you have a different judge and come dead last........ I love what I breed and Iam very proud bottom line!! I wouldnt do anything different if I could except stoped a few people from getting my line before strickt contracts came in place in the past, but we all live and we learn we all breed to betterment the breed, some like longer legs, some like the shorter legs, its all what we like. Now Iam a reputable breeder and I dont use the term " Tea-cup" as other reputable show breeders raise there eye brows at this term.....I also correct people when trying to contact me for a Tea-cup as this is not a breed only a term that the public has used to descibe a smaller yorkie. but what really gets me is when some reputable breeders start bashing other breeders if they use the wrong word terms ( words to describe there yorkies )Tinies, baby dolls,ect well I use the term baby doll to describe my look of my yorkies as that is what they look to me and I want others to know what Iam meaning when I mean they have a gorgeous face. as a past world halter horse show handling/breeder I used these same terms to describe my gorgeous faced horses, baby doll heads.. words are words and people should not be judged on what wording they use to describe beauty. |

| Breeding small to large does not equal medium,just a mix of both usually. |

| I am not a breeder and will never be, but l want to add my opinion here. However, myself and many other people do have a serious interest in this breed, and of it's future. The baby doll face is cute but breeding to change the look of the Yorkshire Terrier even more, and making it smaller than it is all ready, is careless, selfish, and becoming an obsession. We all like the look of beautiful things and having something unique, but that doesn't mean that it is of better quality, or in the best interest of the breed. These baby doll face tiny dogs may have silky coats but they may be short lived and have other health issues not mentioned. There are many women who want this baby doll face look, for their future Yorkies. So there are now many breeders going for the green ($$$) in breeding them. I've seen some beautiful Yorkies with a slight baby doll face, but they have been standard size and not as extreme. Changing the shape of the skull IS NOT good and along with the tiny size, will bring about many more serious issues in the future. It amazing how humans constantly think they are in their right to perfect something that was already a good thing. This constant bothering on a high breed/show level is what was portrayed on the BBC-Pedigree Dogs Exposed documentary last week. If you want to perfect something in the Yorkshire Terrier breed, use common sense and perfect the HEALTH, not cutesiness. The Yorkie rightly owns that image already!

I don't think the OP is an actual breeder yet. Nor was she reviewing the breeder mentioned. She was asking in the mainstream has anyone ever heard of the breeder and seen the website, and she wanted their opinions. At least that is what I'm reading.

| I've been following this post and think it's a very interesting topic. I personally have biewers and am new to breeding. As a labor and delivery nurse and one who loves genetics, I wanted to pass this link on about a documentary that is coming out to the states soon. Most of us do want what is best for the breed, but I believe the differences lie in our opinions of what is best. I personally have no opinion about a particular breeder. I do, however, believe we should be very careful that our personal quests for beauty do not out weigh the overall health of any breed. The documentary is a little long, but well worth it. As I watched what some breeders have done to promote genetic hysteria and heartache within their own breeds, it made me pause and take a look at what is most important to me as a new breeder. I came away with many more questions needing answered before beginning my program and I think questions are a great place to start. I look at my beautiful little girls cuddled in my lap and want them to produce healthy, strong, babies for generations to enjoy. I don't want a beautiful, fraile (sp?), unhealthy dog that wins in the ring, but at the end of the day has a miserable life and promotes the beginning of the end for this breed. All that said, I'm coming to find out there are many interpretations for the phrase "for the love of the breed". Great mentors, genetic testing, and trying to breed to correct potential health issues are paramount for all of us who love these precious little dogs. Again, this isn't a dig at any one breeder, just something I think we should all take a good, long, look at whether be are beginning or have been breeders for 20+ yrs. Thank you all for your comments, it helps me put some things in perspective. Potentially Explosive BBC Doc on Purebreds Set to Air Stateside - Paw Nation For the love of the breed...
