| ![]() Thank you to all of you,and of course I love her anyway that she is,it's just so unfair if these people really did this,and it's not only the question of money. When i came to breeder i didn'y see any other yorkies in her house ,there were 4 puppies,that she had and she said that they were imorted from Ireland so of course I didn't see Missy's parents.The papers are from Universal Kennel Club International.She has however very yorkie personality,her ears standing.About breeding of course I would never start doing it just because i feel like,i understand that's huge responsobility,I'd learn about breeding ,and surely consult veterinary. I wanted to do it to develop a very good breed standards ,and i don't want to fix her i want her to live a normal natural life to become a mom, but by anymeans i would never put her in danger. And i want to say thank you guys for your advices,and of course it's cannot be mean or anything we are here to help each other,and any advice cannot be mean. |

Donating YT 14K Club Member | ![]() As with everyone else, pictures would be most helpful. I'm also curious as to what the parents looked like...if they were breed standards. When buying a yorkie, one must be very careful. While throwbacks are common, looking at the parents will give you a good idea of what the kids will look like.

Good, I'm glad you feel that way! Many people get defensive or take things the wrong way. I like to put a disclaimer to say that I'm not trying to be mean. ![]() ![]()

| ![]() Pictures would certainly help on this issue. I was once at a breeders home and seen with my own two eye her Maltese locked with her yorkie..... ![]() Unreal. You have to be careful when they breed more than one bred and are not honest. Always check them out. |

| ![]() When reading the AKC standard there is no minimum size given, just the fact that they shouldn't be over 7 pounds. A picture would help us give you a better answer. Don't listen to people on the street though. I'm always asked if my dog is a silky. Although pet yorkies and silkies look very similiar, my yorkie is only three pounds which is REALLY small for a silky. Many people don't know their dog breeds or they may be comparing your dog to a dog that belongs to someone they know. As far as breeding, it should only be undertaken by someone who knows what they are doing or has access to someone who does. A lot can go wrong which can mean losing your dog or running into some very expensive vet bills. If you don't breed her, get her spayed, the sooner the better. We lost a dog to pyometra which is a uterine infection. The more heats your dog goes through, the greater the chance of her contracting this. Here's a link so you can read all about it: http://www.marvistavet.com/html/body_pyometra.html |

I have also heard the 4-7 lbs is breed standard. Two pounds is not one you can even show, so I would think that is a clear give away that it is outside of the standard.

| ![]() I always thought it was 4-7 too. But I just found this on the AKC site. The Yorkshire Terrier traces to the Waterside Terrier, a small longish-coated dog, bluish-gray in color, weighing between 6 and 20 pounds (most commonly 10 pounds). The Waterside Terrier was a breed formed by the crossing of the old rough-coated Black-and-Tan English Terrier (common in the Manchester area) and the Paisley and Clydesdale Terriers. It was brought to Yorkshire by weavers who migrated from Scotland to England in the mid-19th century. The Yorkshire Terrier made its first appearance at a bench show in England in 1861 as a "broken-haired Scotch Terrier". It became known as a Yorkshire Terrier in 1870 when, after the Westmoreland show, Angus Sutherland reported in The Field magazine that "they ought no longer be called Scotch Terriers, but Yorkshire Terriers for having been so improved there." The earliest record of a Yorkshire Terrier born in the United States dates to 1872. Classes for the breed have been offered at all shows since 1878. Early shows divided the classes by weight - under 5 pounds and 5 pounds and over. Size, however, soon settled down to an average of between 3 and 7 pounds, resulting in only one class being offered in later shows. While a Toy, and at various times a greatly pampered one, the Yorkshire is a spirited dog that definitely shows its terrier strain. The show dog's length of coat makes constant care necessary to protect it from damage, but the breed is glad to engage in all the roistering activities of the larger terrier breeds.

| ![]() The Yorkshire Terrier standard does not have any qualifiying weight other than not over 7 lbs. Now what you will find is that as show exhibitors, we show usually dogs in the 5-7 lb range. The reason for that is that we don't breed girls under 5 lbs as they are just too small. Personally I would never take a chance on maybe a dog dying just for puppies. Anything over 7 lbs is just too big and as such loses breed type and no longer looks like the breed it's claiming to be. Type is what distinguishes one breed from another. In this instance what would make it different then a Silky. So is your dog a purebred, well again like everyone else says a picture would help, but that will not even confirm it. Makes me wonder why it's registered with the organization you mention. At this point I would just love her as a pet. Good luck.
