I have actually asked the breeders about Spring or Summer litters. I wanted to be able to research the sire & dam of my next pup. It seems that most of the breeders I have contacted will be mating their pups in the next 4-10 weeks. They were able to tell me who will be bred & the sires. I will be contacting them again in March so that they can tell me which dams are pregnant. So, your links will be extremely helpful for me! Thank you so much! |
Main thing is. Hopefully the pup you get will be healthy and live a long healthy life. Thats comes from all the select breeding. Sure there always a chance of the pup having "problem" But less likey and if there are a good breeder with help you or even give you a new pup..which in all reality is hard to give up. Just a better chance than buying from a bad breeder which may have bad health traits bred into them. Good luck |

Thank you so much for the information! I feel so much better about speaking with these breeders now. I can only imagine how much time & energy they put into their dogs. I don't want them to think that I'm clueless about a pup I could be bringing into my home. I also really want to understand the history of my next pup. Thank you very much! |
Hi! Just to clarify. My dogs came from breedings I did with Wildweir dogs, as well as dogs I purchased DIRECTLY from them and breeders who bred to their dogs and purchased from them. I probably have more of their dogs in my pedigrees than anyone else in the World. Joan, Janet and Nancy have been so kind to me. The Clarkwyn dogs I favored and have all three in my pedigrees are the three Eagles- Jubilee, Jamboree and Double. I also added two others directly descended from Jubie - Ch Cede Higgins and Ch Robtell Jubilation. Clarkwyn was a true line FROM dogs of Wildweir breeding. |
It is very interesting that the original standard and show winners had very wavy hair based on this: Memoirs of Yorkies Past: Beginning Breeders of Yorkshire Terriers. Mandie's hair is wavy like that..maybe not AS wavy, but it has waves...it's not straight like the standard is today. |
Hi! Some yorkies have poker straight hair and a few have a wave - most often over the rear leg. Sometimes this means the dogs are more silver than steel blue. But the silver-ish dogs often have great silky texture which doesn't break or knot and grows long. They did not have half the products we have now or flat irons that are often used today. In thr. 80's we washed our dogs before a show, put the wrappers on and at show took them off- misted them with water and brushed and went into the ring. Some waves were evident in the pictures. I dont yet know how to paste a picture in my post but could show you some examples. But then we didn 't have these crazy sun visor all poofed up topknots which make them look angry. One of the reasons I love the Wildweir dogs is they have cheek and flat heads that made them pretty not snipey weasel faces other lines had. They also were cobby. The Yorkie breed is NOT to be a tall dog, an Afghan in miniature and while so many adjectives apply elegant ( if it means tall ) is not one the originators used. It can be balanced and not tall. |

My Mandie has a wave in her body hair..for example, the more you go do from her backline, it gets a wave. She is more silver than blue, so that makes sense. Also, I think many of her traits look like the Mayfair line. |
