Is the AKC standard the same than FCI one? - YorkieTalk.com Forums

As you may know, I´m brazilian and i´d like to buy an american yorkshire because I just love your lineage.

I really need to know if the standard from AkC and FCI are exactly the same or if it has small differences, because Brazil follows the FCI standard and I´m interested in buying show dogs.

Thank you in advance!

You can read the standard on the AKC site or YTCA site and compare..Best wishes

I read both standards and they are the same. It would be wise to buy from a US breeder who breeds the same TYPE as you see in Brazilian rings. If they tend to be very dark in yoru country, you would want to avoid the breeders with a light coated York. etc..
Be sure to get good references and contact the YTCA for a reputable show breeder. I would contact Parkside (Marie Cordona) in PR..she shows here in the US and SA. Best wishes

Thank you for your fast answers!

Lake Buena Vista Kennel is one of the bests kennels in Brazil and uses Parkside´s bloodline.

I´ve already seen parkside´s dogs in the sweetyblue.com and I really like them indeed.

what in USA is the most common, light or dark coated yorkie?
