A t this age, the dog's back is sturdy and as straight as a line. T he pup should be able to hold its ears almost totally erect. The ears may not stand far apart from each other, which would be a case of too wide ear bases. They also should not hang limply. If it still does, a price reduction would be justified.
Good breeders shave the upper third of the hair at the ears, as it is standard.
I t should not be necessary to count the dog's hair one by one. Either there is enough hair, or there are too few. In the latter case no improvement is possible, even with special treatment, since the reason for too few hairs is heredity. The hair is decisive concerning the later look of the Yorkshire Terrier. Too few hairs should also lead to a price reduction.
