:( :confused:

there is white, black, green, red yorkies :)
But this is not a standard.

i saw a 7 kg purebred yorkie ...(13 ebils), but again, it's not a standard.

So standard of course is possible...and those things are happened even with the best breeders, but those kind of dogs SHOULD cost much less money.

They are not better than other, and we will love them the same, but this is not a standard.

Dear HT (HumanTalk)

Is your human up to standard? Ours is much OVER the standard weight. Her hair is OK on a good day but it gets very knotty and needs to be brushed daily, its so annoying...and the mats!!!! grrrrrr...and her SKIN!! It gets so oily, we have to buy her special cleanser to keep it from breaking out!!

Sometimes when she is sad or even really happy she cries, is this normal or should I take her to the doctors?? And somedays she eats to little and the next day she eats waaaaaay too much, we are thinking of putting her on new people food. She was housebroken when we got her..thank god!!

Some nights she cant sleep and we dont know why so we get into bed and kiss her all over her face, she smiles and pets us as she drifts off to sleep. Well YTers she sure dosent meet the standard human qualities we have read about..and we wont be entering her in an beauty contests but she is our human and we love just the same!! Cant wait to see pics of YOUR humans!! We just love pics!!

P.S. This was just a funny thought that entered my head lol...
Have a great day!!

I think the darker yorkies are gorgeous. I've also seen some beautiful red yorkies. Health is definitely the most important thing to look for, I agree.

Don't you believe that all breeds have gone through this as people have pushed to get their non-standard dog accepted by the AKC?

It's just the way with people, some are very resistant to change.

I personally love the variety that yorkies provide. I don't give a rats behind about showing. Maybe that is the Redneck in me, I'm definitely no aristocrat.

Iksdolls is right, it's just a matter of time before the new colors catch on. And to think, in the past the culled them and kept it their dirty little secret.

I actually think that a lot of people don't even realize that their Yorkies are as far from standard as they actually are --

Whatever -- I think the "white Yorkie" is absolutely beautiful - and I would pay a little extra for her because she is so beautiful and interesting and different - to heck with the standard! (My pets are all neutered and spayed.)

I don't think many of us are showing our dogs - and most of us aren't into breeding and are responsible owners and get our pets spayed and neutered. I personally think that having so many different Yorkies that all look so different is just another exciting thing about this little breed.

******** One of you here has a little dog that is part Bichon and part Yorkie and it's almost pure black --- now this is really harder for me to believe than for a little Yorkie to be predominately black.

Just goes to show -- you never know - do you?
