| Frustrating BYB!!! I am on craigslist...as usual. And I see an ad labeled "yorshire terrier pup (teacup)". So I look at the picture and there are three. The byb are using a beer can to compare the size. And not to mention that its a Chorkie. Definitely more chihuahua. They say they are purebred Yorkies. ummmmm no. I hate how lately on craigslist all you see are byb. I go on there to see rescues and look for a crate....and I find this. Its a shame!

| I have one question, what is BYB? And they aren't that smart. They should at least know both parents breeds. |

XOXO What is a Back Yard Breeder? "What's a BYB? A BYB (for Back Yard Breeder) is the average pet owner that breeds their dog(s). WHAT THEY DO (and what they DON’T DO) 1) They breed dogs that are not correct for the Standards for health, temperament, and how they *suppose* to look. This is why many of the back-yard breeding's that take place produce puppies which grows into adults that are incorrect and often have terrible behavior problems. 2) They breed dogs that have the same faults, which in turn, compounds faults into the puppies. 3) They do not know the breed standards for the breed they are breeding. 4) They do not know what genetic (health) issues are for the breed they are breeding, they say that there are NO problems associated with the breed, or ask, “what problems?” 5) They are not there for you IF you have problems or questions through-out the lifetime of your dog. 6) They do not require spay/neuter contracts, nor do they supply you with a written contract/guarantee, nor do they require the dog be returned to them if you can no longer keep the animal. 7) They think they can make just a little money breeding. 8) Some will screen potential buyers and some won’t. Most really don’t care what happens to the puppy after it leaves their house. WHY THEY CREATE DAMAGE 1) With them not requiring spay/neuters, when those dogs are eventually bred (as most will do), then it compounds the problems... more and more dogs are being produced in an overly populated world already. Just go to your local shelter and look at all those dogs. They were someone’s pet at some point in their life. Most of them would come from someone just wanting to breed their pets just once or twice. 2) By continued irresponsible breeding(s), more and more dogs end up in rescue, shelters, dumped, research labs, used as bait dogs for dog fighting or at the hands of commercial dog breeders (Puppy Mill Breeders) or commercial brokers (Puppy Mill Brokers). Note: Brokers buy from the commercial dog breeders and sell directly to the Pet- Stores or directly to the Public Study the breed standards! Puppies should be health looking, proper weight, with clear bright eyes. Nasal discharge (if any) should ONLY be clear, not green or yellow, or crusty. Puppies should be round, but not OVERLY round. (indication of worms). What is the difference between a Back Yard Breeder and a Reputable Breeder? The BYB might have purebred dogs or might not. It must be noted that to qualify as a purebred a dog must have registration papers. However, registration papers do not prove quality, and this is one point the BYB fails at. Reputable breeders only breed their dogs once a year. Never breed a female in her first heat. Nothing is produced that will not get a permanent home.Reputable breeders vaccinate, de-worm, and vet check their pups and offer guarantees for health , and will always take a dog back at any time if its new owner cannot keep it. BYB occasionally vaccinate and de-worm, but seldom have the pups vet checked, and seldom offer any guarantees. Sometimes buyers pay top dollars for pups that are not vaccinated and may have defects, their goal is profit, and they (as well as puppy mills) are responsible for many of the ongoing genetic health problems we see in many dogs today. They will continue to breed inferior dogs, where as a reputable breeder would stop breeding a dog that produced anything other than excellent quality pups. In short, the Back Yard Breeder INTENTIONALLY produced a litter of low quality pups for the purpose of selling to the unsuspecting public. They breed for profit, the Reputable breeder breeds to improve the breed. " Blessings. XOXO

| I get so angry at these greedy ppl because that's why we pet owners have to watch our babies die so young, because they produced an unhealthy pet. I'm one that roots for the animals ALWAYS because they don't have a voice! I wished ppl who are looking to purchase a pure bred dog could get the right info before buying and maybe just maybe we could shut down these little operations. |

Yorkie Yakker | Craigslist bans the sale of animals on their site. They do allow a rehoming fee for those who are in legitamate need of finding a new home for their pet. I think you can flag a post that is in violation of their terms. With enough flags the post get removed. |
