Breed: Yorkshire Terrier

Yorkshire Terriers

This breed used to be so strong in the UK, not only with high numbers but also high quality with regular wins at the highest level. So sad. I was very disappointed to have to withhold the BCC, the class winners were both young and their coats and especially colours had not yet developed to be able to truthfully sign the certificate. I would like to thank the owners for the sporting way they accepted my decision and reasons.
