Not So Standard Yorkie Sure, we all celebrate the standard Yorkie. The one with the perfect coat, length, height, weight, colors, ears, teeth, tail and temperament. It stands to reason these are all guidelines that make a Yorkie conform to the standard. But let's be real. How many of us really have a furball that is perfect enough to show? My little boy has big, floppy ears. He has a thick, wooly coat. He has double canines and is on the thin side. But despite all the things that make him "non-standard," to me he is the cutest, sweetest little boy in the world. So this here is my tribute to all those little yorkies out there that are too small, too big, too curly, too floppy, too fat, too skinny and too irregular looking. Here's to all those yorkie owners who have been asked "are you sure that's a purebreed?" While these dogs may not win ribbons at the Westminster show, they have all won top dog trophies in our hearts. |
My Tyson also has big ears-he has all the other "Yorkie' standards but he has big floppy ears that will never stand up-but he is the cutest baby ever |
Awweee that's cute. ::Cheers to the Wook:: for his cute floppy years and his not so standard yorkie butt that I love to pieces!! |
Just like we "imperfect" people....yay for the misfits ;) |
Yayay for the not so perfect yorkies! I love them all no matter what shape, size or color! |
Chachi has the cotton coat and he is 10 lbs so he is far from the standard. I love him to death though and wouldnt have him any other way. |
My Tiger is not even purebred as he has 1/16th s**tzu, takes too long for his hair to grow but he RULES MY WORLD! :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup: He is priceless ! ! ! ! |
I just had Wyatt weighed today. At 8 1/2 months old he is 9 1/2 lbs. I'm not sure if he will get any bigger or not. His daddy is show quality. I think he would be pretty close if not for his weight. But, I could care less about that. Mollie isn't show quality her ears only go about half up, and she has an overbite. I wouoldn't change either of them. She is 2 years old and weighs about 6 lbs. |
And just because some can make it into the ring, doesn't mean they are perfect! There was a thread a few months back about breeders breeding whose dogs are not perfect. I will be the first to say I breed and mine and they are not perfect. If there were only the perfect yorkies being bred then none of us would have one, as they would be too expensive and the show people usually don't or won't breed their dogs. I love my dogs (all three) and the people who bought puppies from me are also very happy~ :p Standard or not we love our dogs! |
I'm with you guys - my girls are perfect as they are to me....But I think we love them so much we spend time on them like they ARE showdogs - there are so many cute yorkies out there - imperfections and all......let the REAL Show Dogs have the ring. Mine are the Show Girls of their Back yard :D |
