Perfect example of the breed
 

I was just curious what you breeders consider a perfect example of the breed? My first dog Chachi is not a good example of the breed. He has a cotton coat, hes over the standard in weight , and he has severe allergies to where he takes all kinds of medicines. My second yorkie seems to be a better example she has a silky coat, shes within the standard on weight, she has a straight backline. Also are allegies genetic? My breeder prided herself on her dogs but Chachi has such exteme allergies he will probably be on medications the rest of his life.

I pick...and I might add there are far too many to name..

Ava Tryee's Wyatt and her new one..Sure Shot
Nealstar's Texas Ranger is very nice.
Groveshire has a great boy..Fury
Love Paddington's boy, Beau

One of my favorites will forever be...Ch. Cuddles De Alexander..

I just had a question on chachis allergies. Peawee had to be rushed to the vet the other day. It was due to allergies and his eyes swelled up and he broke out all over and he was given a steroid shot. The vet said that she would never give him a shot again because its to hard on him and he would have to start taking meds. Did Chachi have breakout like this and what kind of med. is he on? Is it a daily pill? Any info you could give would be helpful. Thanks

If I had a Yorkie with this type of allergy I would go to a vet who specialized in allergies and change the diet.
I had a grooming client who kept hers on shark fin and it cured her..she was taking cortizone by mouth and was so heavy..bloated etc.

Yes he has breakout little pimple things on him. He has chewed and scratched his entire back. He has no hair on his entire back. He was given a couple of shots when he was at the vets. Then two weeks after the shots he is to start taking Prednisone it is a steroid. He also has a creme medication for his eyes and meds for his ears because it is in there also. His is so bad we are at witts end because nothing seems to make any improvement. He goes back to the vet before he strts taking the pills so we will just have to see.

Chachi ...Sorry to go Off Topic but....I have a friend who's little yorkie has severe allergies too and they tried a ton of different meds - She's now 6 years old - do you want to talk to her to see what worked and what didn't ? She may be able to give you some help with this -

Bless Chachi little heart - being itchy is an awful feeling...

Yes if she has some info that would help I would love to hear it. I think were gonna have to quit going to our regular vet and go to a specialist if he cant help before too long. This is just too severe.

Thanks. I feel like at my wits end also. We found out that it is in his shampoos and household cleaners, perfumes etc. Its really hard knowing which things to use anymore because of his allergies. He has to go back in to do more testing but he was so miserable when I took him in last they didn't want to bother him.

I just emailed her - she's great about helping ...I know this must be so frustrating for you guys.....I can remember Chanel scratching for about 4 days and I was going crazy trying to help her stop itching - and hers wasn't allergies...so I can imagine the worry over seeing this all the time...

Hi, I'm Villette's friend. I have the six year old yorkie, Gracie. She was on the steroid shots and the Prednisone pills and other types of steroid meds for years. These only help for a short time. After a while, they started causing bad side effects. The worse one was her losing control of her bladder. So, our regular vet sent us to an allergy specialist in Houston.
Gracie is off the steroids, her skin looks really good, and all she gets is an allergy shot once a week. It takes about four months of shots before you start seeing the results but can take as long as a year. I am so glad we went to the specialist. And Gracie is not itchy anymore. I highly recommend an allergy specialist.
If anyone has any further questions, please feel free to ask me, as I wish I had someone to ask when we were going through all this. I will be glad to answer any questions I can.

You've listed two of my favorites - Sure Shot and Nealstar's Texas Ranger! I've been doing plenty of looking around at top yorkies and those two are in my list.

A third that I like is Images Killer Looks "Lover Boy."

THANK YOU TO MY GOOD Friend Jamie !! :) You are always ready to help and I know you've had so much experience with Allergies that you could give Chachi some excellent answers -

I can testify to how much love and care you've given Gracie (both your cute girls) and how great she looks - Because I've been lucky enough to meet you in person....

One would never know she has such bad allergies right now... and I know it was a long haul for you to get to this point.....Thanks so much for coming on here and posting girl !!!

Lover Boy
 

Lisa..tha is so funny..I almost wrote down Lover Boy also...but I have not seen him in person..just a B/W photo...I would love to see his color and the way he moves.

Personally I'd have to say:

Hunderwood Obsession: 'Tiky'

I'm also a fan of Wyatt.

How do people get to see these yorkies ? I'd love to see their pictures...are they on different sites or all on one website ?

I use www.sweetyblue.com or you can do a swearch for the kennel name (Hunderwood, TyAva, etc..)

sweetieblue
 

Great site. Thank you for the suggestion.

That is a great site! I just found a picture of Brutus' Grandfather Elite too be or not too be and I think they look alike! Do you see a resemblance?

Brutus has a lot of the Elite line on his mother's side and Durrer's on his father.

Thank you Irene :) - I LOVE that site....Sweetyblue...there are yorkies to die for there

and Carolyn - OUTSTANDING pictures of Brutus's grandpappy :D They DO look alike....

I also love Buster (The new Champion) right on this site as a good example of the breed - he's just stunning....

i could look at yorkies all day long...the breed is the best...im so in love with them....

My All time favorite yorkie
 

i just really love this lil guy. I have looked at hundreds of pictures. I know his nose is short but he is my very favorite!!!! This is my perfect yorkie, providing he is smart, and healthy. I mean his ancestors....hes passed away some time ago.

Ava Tryee's Wyatt and her new one..Sure Shot

These are all good representations of the breed. I would have to add BIS BISS AM/Can CH Rothby's Renee'Gade and BIS BISS CH Rothby's Reputation to the list.
And, I MUST add my own BISS CH Exmoor's I D'Claire at Jo-Nel. Claire was the #1 bitch, #3 all breed, and #2 breed in 2004. Claire was recently bred to Wyatt.
Another wonderful bitch is BIS BISS CH Exmoor's One Better. Monie was the #1 bitch for 4 consecutive years.
You may see Claire at http://www.jonelyorkies.com

Jo-Nel Reg'd Yorkies

[And, I MUST add my own BISS CH Exmoor's I D'Claire at Jo-Nel. Claire was the #1 bitch, #3 all breed, and #2 breed in 2004.

Correction, Claire was #2 all breed, and #3 breed. She only lost to the #2 dog by 7 points.
Julie

My bad!
The picture of the lil guy I put up Hes a keeper, isnt dead!
I stand corrected.
I guess he lives in hungary and sold for 15,000 smackers.
Goodness...........can anyone float me a loan? :luvu: :yelrotflm

That is Multi CH NicNak He's A Keeper, Bred by Laurie Hunter of Canada and owned by Markus and Beatte Campris in Germany.
Julie

I think all of the Nicnak dogs are stunning. I am not a breeder or a show person but everyone has a certain "look" that appeals to them within the breed.
I will probably only ever have pets but I sure can appreciate a beautiful yorkie:)

I would also like to extend a warm welcome to Goldenray, Blumoon, Loriben and Jonel yorkies. How nice to have experienced show breeders join our site.I am looking forward to reading your input.

I am so so sorry, the above post should have read"How nice to have SOME MORE experienced show breeders join our site. My bad, I didn't forget about the ones we already have.

yorluvr
Tell me more tell me more!
Wow then you know about him!! None of my business but did he really sell for that?
.........and you didnt say will you float me the loan......... :) :) :p

I have never seen Keeper in person, just pictures on a couple show yorkies lists I am on. Laurie does have a website http://www.nicnakyorkies.com
She has some beautiful dogs.
I have no idea what was paid for him. As far as the loan.......
Julie

Something maybe I should make clear and I am sure the other show breeders on here will chime in and agree. I want to clarify a bit about show breeders as I don't want others on this forum to think we only breed and sell show quality dogs. Egad I wish every pup in my litters were but they aren't.
That means that while we are striving to hopefully produce the 'perfect Yorkies' we don't and will very carefully scrutinze a pet home for these puppies that we don't want to keep in our breeding program or anyone elses. They are not sold ever because of health problems.
There may be faults of too small, too big, not a level topline we want, other conformation issues that this is not going to be show dog and therefore will be sold AKC registered with limited registration or if Canadian, Canadian Kennel Club with spay/neuter contracts. Yes, all puppies sold for pet from a breeder that is purebred, should be registered verifying authenticity of purebred status.
The AKC and Canadian Kennel Club require puppies sold for pet to also hve their registration certificates to the new owner in a reasonably timely manner. Some breeders will require verification of spay/neuter certificate before the registration certificate will be processed and ownership transferred to the new owners name.
As the buyer, you get a very nice pet puppy, health guarantees that hopefully will be honoured (check out your breeder regardless), your registrations for the pup in your name in a timely manner, and you should expect any advice, help etc you need for your new member of your family.
