I think a lot of the bitch pups out now are leaning to the smaller side of the standard..so using an oversized bitch is self defeating for many reasons. |

When passing knowledge to others esp. newbies, it helps us to see who has how many years under their belt so to speak you know how much real experience and their accomplishments with their breeding and showing. thats why i asked |

And the longer I'm involved in this the more mentors I gain! It's been wonderful getting to know and rely on some of the most reputable breeders in yorkies!!! Donna Btw...Sure shot is not even in the top 5 for the year :) Just wanted to clarify his rankings :) but I will say he is in at #7 through the end of September :) |

You don't have to take anyone's advice....the choice is yours. I'm also very selective on who I pass all my knowledge too. |
:rolleyes: Quote:
but I am learning when someone offers up so much knowledge, i will look further into their actual background in the breed and their experience not meaning the experience of their mentor. :p |
thanks donna |

Also, when it comes to size you have to consider more than just how much a female weighs. Females yorkies seem to be like many of us women, when we are younger we are lean and then when we have children we get that middle aged spread.:) A female can be within standard but once they are bred and have pups they can easily go above standard size by a couple of pounds. You have to consider the whole package. |

I will tell you before I ever entered the ring, my mentor put me to the ringer...classes, training, and traveling with her and her handler before she placed a dog in my hands...... I was only allowed near a whelping box after I finished 3 Champions.......and went on to handle my mentor's dogs.. I've learned from the best and not only my mentor.......since those are the ones that I sought out..... |

In my opinion, if you are seeking knowledge in this endeavor it is from my experience that one would be alittle more appreciative, a little more candid and not so accusative in your questions of other breeders practice. I find when you are alittle more humble breeders and or show exhibitors would be more forthcoming with answers to your questions. From your post about breeding oversized bitches to the top ranked yorkie we all know who you are referring too especially if you follow the rankings like I do. Anyone that knows me and Mary as being members of the YTCA I can't go against the code of conduct and say they are not doing it correctly when in fact I don't know that because I wasn't there to see it for myself personally so what it all boils down too is heresay.... I am always willing to help or lend a hand to newbies. :) Donna |
sorry i guess emails tones can easily take on the tone of how the person reading them interperts them. I have European Lines myself. That seems to be a real thorn in your side. Seems the breeders here take it as disrespect when they find you are trying to get in the breed and you have bought from European Breeders, kinda like a buy american boycott type of attitude you find. But I love the dogs and I have meet the breeders in person and went over my dogs before i got them. Not sight unseen. I do plan to CH them and they will be health tested before i spend the money showing them. Then and only then will they be bred. but as far as finding a mentor here, that will depend on if someone is open to the fact that I have imported mine and i am not looking to buy their lines. |

Haven't Parkside, Rama as well as many other's incorporated European lines into their breeding programs? I do know that laws in Europe are less stringent than in the U.S., as you are not allowed to sell on an limited registration. That could be the reason some may be a bit stand offish when you speak to them. |

I have found some GORGEOUS yorkies from Europe on the SweetyBlu website but unfortunately I can't get one because I won't allow them to ship it too me because I don't feel comfortable in shipping and I don't have the money to fly across the ocean to go get it at this time. Sure I can go get one I'm sure but finances won't allow the trip and the cost of the dog. That would be the only way I'd import is by putting my hands and eyes on the dog itself :) Donna |

As to size..I haven't been to Eastern shows in 5 yrs..at Memphis I saw several of my friends who used to breed a larger Yorkie enter a much smaller type... Tiffany used to bring out a good size Yorkie and she told me they have much smaller now..and a few others...just an observation. |
[quote=YorkieRose;2880892] Quote:
I think it's a trend thing.......Lee has told me on several occassions that she'd get ready to bring out a smaller yorkie, because everyone was showing smaller. Then they'd start bringing out larger ones....She said she couldn't win for loosing. |

Yes, the ones as a majority in Memphis were on the little smaller size. I do not breed for the smaller ones, but that is what I have been getting lately myself. I have and still sitting on a couple hoping they will turn out bigger than they are. I still have hope. I am also glad that I now have my Cha-Cha, since I think she will be a little bigger - probably 5.5 - 6 pounds when she is finished. You can go to one show and there will be smaller sized and other shows have them more up on leg and a bit bigger. Just depends, from what I have seen. It comes and goes. Pat, did you stay for the ball?? Everyone had a great time! :D |

You are correct........ I do know that they have come to Pastoral, Yorkboro, NicNac also. |
Quote:
I'm having a bit of the opposite......except one girl that at this point has everything but size......I've never had one this small......however, she was premature and hoping that she'll catch up. Wondering if miracle will do the trick. |
