I mean I like all yorkies whether show quality or not but I feel in love with the show quality yorkie, I just love the way they look. By the way, does anyone know how long a breeder has to keep a puppy to see if it has show potential? I will be looking for a puppy with show potential next year and I heard that they keep them until they are six months old, is that the correct amount of time or is it different for each puppy?

Between 6 to 10 months , we can have a good idea of the quality .

I got my yorkie about 2 months ago. Im in love with her, she's a real doll.
I've never owned one before, and I have many questions. She's 5 months and weights about 2 1/2 lbs. she' got the babydoll face, and some white hairs on top of her head. I still have not taken her to get groomer, and I have no idea when I should. Another thing is that her hair doesnt seem the same way as some of the yorkie's I've seen here... it's not not long! how long does it take to fall to the side? ALSO... she's very hyper! is this normal in yorkies? or is she just very spoiled already... she gets plenty of spoiling around the house!

my older dog, Coburn's Judabob Southern Showgirl (Silk) is standard. She weighs 4pounds and 8 ounces. Her coat is Silky. She is short. She MIGHT be about an inch too long but I don't think so. I haven't measured that part of her . I am going to try to attach a picture but it is not a very good one. She is out in the cold wind and her hair is blowing making her look like a wild woman. plus, I have trimmed her body hair so it is not as long as it was.

okay, I just measured Silk and she is nineXnine. So I guess that makes her standard.
