For the most part we can not support breeding non standard Yorkies or other non standard purebreds - will not be involved in breeding mixed breeds etc. Hey and yes the YTCA does have the authority with the AKC to change the standard - and that is not done easily or friviously. And believe you me it is a huge gut wratching process to change a standard. I shudder at it. I was on a standards committee when in the very end we changed exactly two things about the standard which took 18mths to do! Most folks here do not appreciate what show breeders commit to and go through. We are in essence the guardian of the standard. The standard is designed to keep a Yorkie looking like a Yorkie with great temperament and health. It is not meant to be bent by any whim n fancy of the current market forces. But there is still drift. Drift by some show breeders to please what judges are deciding is the best example of the breed.

My Tiny Treasures Donating Member | I was sitting here thinking about the remarks about my pricing. And again I want to say it's the people that don't know me you can think negative about my pricing. As I said I can count on one hand the many Tinys that I've had. I do not breed for a small yorkie and I do not advertise such so that I can hike up my prices for an example I currently have a very very very tiny baby that I had to hand feed and she is almost 6 months old now. She is only 1 lb. 4 oz. I had many many many people one wanting her and price not be an option at all. I was not looking to make a big dollars on her she is still with me because I refused every offer I got on her. If I was reading for small dogs to make a high profit I think I would've sold her long ago. But no she's with me because I don't trust anyone else to have her because of her size so she will stay with me forever. That's the type of person I am. So when I see things written about me stating something different that's the only reason why I get upset. I feel like really opened up my life to people which really I don't need to do but I've made wonderful friends, just like family, and I have no regrets and I will continue to do as I do and do me. |

Breny, I do think when anyone decides to become a breeder and sell living, breathing beings to the public that they do automatically open themselves up to scrutiny. And honestly, thank god it does! If we didn't scrutinize, we'd never come to any conclusions at all about what makes a good/safe/ethical breeder vs the other kind. So, I do think breeders should have thick skin and expect scrutiny of what they are bringing into this world. I know some of what you've heard has been tough and that you feel some hurt over it. But balance that out w/ all the accolades you're receiving at the same time. Temper the hurt w/ the good stuff that's coming in. And try to find a way to accept that, as a breeder, you've chosen to put yourself and your breeding program out there in public...so there probably will be times when sensitive stuff comes up. Just keep trying to keep your cool...I know it's tough...but you can handle it ! And, "handling it" calmly and factually, in the end, just makes you look even better anyway.

My Tiny Treasures Donating Member | Oh I can handle it. That's no issue. It's just time I speak up instead of sit back. I'm not going to change a thing. My dogs are BabyDolls. They are not flat faced - looking nothing like the breed. They look to standard. (Except for color with my Parti babies) Everyone has an opinion. If we all thought the same - well that would be just boring. Lol. Anyone can sit behind a computer and type jibberish. It's real life that matters to me. Too bad no one uses this site anymore. It used to be so popular. |

And I totally agree - if we all thought the same, we'd never arrive at anything of real excellence, ya know? It's the differing opinions and being able to tolerate those differences that get us somewhere in terms of growing/learning. Enjoy your weekend....

My Tiny Treasures Donating Member | [QUOTE=Wylie's Mom;4641942]I'm glad you feel you can handle it bc in the scheme of life, it's something that doesn't need to overwhelm anyone. I'm sure you have bigger things in your life that you'd rather be focusing on. Nonetheless, I think it's good to discuss stuff like this bc it does continually come up here at YT, so there must be a reason for that. And I totally agree - if we all thought the same, we'd never arrive at anything of real excellence, ya know? It's the differing opinions and being able to tolerate those differences that get us somewhere in terms of growing/learning. Enjoy your weekend....[/QUOTE Exactly. I think we all need to live different things. If all the Yorkies looked alike - how fun would that be. Heck my very first yorkie baby was 13 lb. floppy ears. But he was beautiful to me. Sadly Rogan passed away last fall. Best yorkie ever. I love that they are all different. But rest assured I would not change the breed away from the standard. (Except color since I have Parti 😉 |

After I read between the lines and figured out why you use the term "Babydolls," I no longer have any problem with you using it. (You're the exception to the rule .) You seem like a good, responsible breeder, your prices are reasonable, and so long as the OP does their due diligence in checking out the dog they wish to buy, I think you're an excellent choice. I'm sorry about the misunderstandings. PS -- Parti's are cool . | |

| I know this post is old but personally miss Wiley mom what you said about people having to accept being scrunized is a poor way of justifying why your allowed to be rude and state personal opinions. If a breeder is breeding for health and she uses the term babydoll I think that’s her personal business. The fact the people have a problem with the term babydoll is upsurd and the fact that it has a negative meaning toward animals is plain sad. I would never stop using a word that is positive bec “unscrupulous” people have used that same word that’s just ridiculous. If I decided to open up a business and name it babydoll and some asked me why I decided to use that I would then come and tell my story but If someone came up to me and said this is a horrible name for your business and came up with reasons as to why I shouldn’t name my business I would OFCOURSE be defensive this is something that I worked hard for and someone whom I don’t know is voicing their opinion in an attacking way sure they can say what they want it’s a free country but don’t expect me to sit there pretty and having to take it bec I opened a business and therefore I’m opening up my self to scrutiny. Sorry but that is not good advice. |
