FOURTH TIME LUCKY.....JUST HAD TO UNLOAD AOL AND BROADBAND AND RELOAD THEM AS OUR DAUGHTER OVERLOADED OUR COMPUTER, AND EVERYTIME I WROTE A REPLY TO YOU LAST NIGHT IT WENT OFF THE INTERNET......HERE GOES :
You are very very welcome MRS H !
It was not you I was amazed at, just the awful self-rightious people that jumped down your throat when you were only asking a perfectly legitimate question !
Just because you are looking for a stud dog doesn't mean to say you would not do the best by your puppies(I would trust you) and you are not a bad person for not knowing breeders to get one from ! Often they are not available or are too far away, and it is very hard to get a stud from a lot of them as they are wanting to keep the puppies within the KC family, to keep their prices high !
Why do they think they are sooo right ? It does come accross as snobbery.
They only seem to have their own interests at heart a lot of the time, as they do not treasure anything other than the perfect dog - to me that is completely wrong. Often the best ones of the lot are the ones who are not breed standard exactly, as they often have the best characters.
At least
you have restored my faith in this site by proving that you are
a nice genuine person !
Thanks for the complements....I could go on and on justifying my comments by many more, but I think I hopefully made people think -
if they really think so much of the breed then they should go out and rescue a poor needy Yorkie as well as buying "perfect" pups. They shouldn't condemn lovely family home breeders who have looked into it and only want the best for any pups their dogs might have, and whose prime concern is their dogs' welfare.
Just because some pups don't sell quickly, doesn't mean someone shouldn't have another lot the next year - as long as they have a good home while with you, and they get a good home when it suits the person looking (often people like an older pup anyway) then why should it matter - you can't dictate when people come looking ! It's ok for show breeders to sell puppies at an older age, and advertise for months on end.
Casper was 19 months when I rehomed him, and he was advertised from a year old - I didn't condemn the person selling him - he found the right home in the end with me, didn't he !
Sorry, political correctness gone mad makes me disheartened when their are puppy farmers and dogknappers to worry about !
