3 Attachment(s) my tye has a wire coat as you can tell by the feel of it and it hardly grows but he hasnt got what i would call red legs or head they are quite light tan so not all wire haired yorkies have a red coat, his dad was a silky but very light silver and cream and his mum i would say had a cotton coat/wooly and had tan legs face and a full black back, here is a pic of tye and then his dad and then his mum. |
Terri, you tell Dylan to quit growing, he's out growing his new brudder! :) Quote:

I don't think that is true that is normal. My Buddy is a red legged yorkies. His hair was very sparse and uneven. I posted here and it was suggested that I shave him. Which I did all but his head. I could not give up the hair on his head. His hair is growning slow. He has very soft silky hair. I like the idea of not having to groom him so much. He is very loving and a great yorkie. He is very black and Orange. I have pictures but have tried to post before and because of the size was unable. I breed Buddy with a female that I have that is very pale in color and the puppies have good coloring. Tauni |

Usually a red legged hair Yorkie has a course and very slow growing coat. This is not the correct color and this is not what you should see in a well-bred animal. (Not offence, please ;) )The standard of the breed empathize the tan color (which is more a variation of different shades). For what I understand the coat and color are the most important point in the standard of the Yorkshire terrier breed. Nevertheless, if you are not going to show your precious baby, color and coat are not that extremely important, right? :rolleyes: |

Even 20-30 year show veterans with dozens of champions, and decades of experience will at some point or another get a red leg.. so I wouldn't say it is not a sign of a well bred animal. I think color and coat are always important, whether your prized pet, or your BISS winning show dog. Even a pet owner wants a dog that looks like it is supposed to. I'll give you an example, my cocker is a PET..always has been, spayed at 8 months old, never bred, HOWEVER her father is a world Champion, and her mother is also a Champion. She has a beautiful pedigree, and is a GORGEOUS dog. When people see her, they don't realize She IS a cocker because she is correct and they are used to seeing BYB Crap! Point being, even though I was buying a pet, I still wanted a GORGEOUS pet. Quote:

Dylan has been such a little stinker the last couple of days. I guess he's just anxious to have his little brother come play with him. |
Well regardless of whether we have a red leg or a "regular" yorkie, whatever regular might be, we will still love them the same. They will always be beautiful no matter if they went bald...My Elle would be the same...sweet....Elle no matter if she had the most BEAUTIFUL coat in the world. |
I had one red leg girl , her name was Maļa , she died at 18 years old . Honestly , she have been the dog of a life time for me . |
I completely agree with what you said. Of course we MUST love our babies however, if I would have an option to choose between a well-bred animal and one that was not selected to be closer to the standard of the breed I would go for the well-bred one. I strongly suggest to choose a puppy from a champion bloodline (someone that is working very hard to produce animals closer to the standard of the breed) but again, this in only my point of view! :) Quote:

Very good points, but one thing to remember...If you look in any local newspaper at any dog breed ad, you would think EVERYONE has a "champion bloodline" as people think that if there is ONE champion in their 5 generation pedigree, along with all the rest "fifi and fido" that it then has a "champion bloodline" In order to have a "champion bloodline" if it isn't in the first 3 generations, it doesn't count! BESIDES that.. all champions shouldn't be bred. Just because a dog has finished it's title doesn't mean that it is a good specimine of the breed, or quality to be bred health wise. It simply means someone had the money to spend on a darn good handler who could finish roadkill if they had enough money, and enough judges in their pockets. So not only is the ancestry important as to who is and is not champions, and how close up that is in the pedigree, it is important WHO those dogs are...some are no more worthy of their title than "buffy".
