 puppies
The first 3 generations are so important. Of course, big Yorkies produce small and small produce big..but it is not a complete crap shoot. If you have a line of average size Yorkies..4 to 6 pounds..you should not get a huge variety of size..you might get a smaller pup quite often, but rarely a huge one in a consistant line.
"Type" is genetic..you can not breed two large head terriers and expect a short muzzle and small ears. I have not seen a terrier type pup come from two cute, refined heads. The pups may not be as refined as the parents, but they do not look like Silkies either.
If you put apples in the pie pan, blueberry pie ain't coming out of the oven...although some people sure get a better apple pie then others. |
