#4 i have no interest in breeding her since i know her size and had no interest in breeding at all except for as pets for me and friends and family. i have no plans to sell etc.
#5 i understand what you do i just think its hypecritical of some of you to say you are breeding to better your line etc and you dont do this for money etc or that you should sell puppies on limited registration cuz other people either 1 do not know what they are doing or 2 we want to protect our line. cuz you dont want your dogs to be puppy mills or get into the wrong hands i understand that but the way i see it just my opinion if you are forcing dogs to make puppies they you infact may be causing you own dogs demise and if you were that worried about it youd 1 either stop or 2 let nature do its own thing and if they wanted to make babies they would and if they dont tehy dont and im sure not positive about the breeders on here but most breeders dont do that tey do in and get vet assistance etc and plan to breed. so if you can do that and say you dont do it for money then i think some if not most of youa re lying |
To be blunt, if we didn't "force" dogs to have puppies, there wouldn't be any more yorkies. All we would have left are mixes. Dogs don't breed because they fall in love, they breed because nature is telling them to. Some females will breed with horrible looking and unhealthy dogs just because the urge is there. Frankly, I'd much rather provide a female (who has the right temperament and structure and is certified healthy to breed) with a nice healthy sound male. If she had her choice, she would pick the closest most persistent boy. Boys are the same way. They react identically to any female in heat...and sometimes to my pillows...
You may be right too, many people who breed don't do what they should, and they probably aren't members of the YTCA. I'm not trying to be an elitist, but when I buy my boyfriend a yorkie, I WILL be getting it from a YTCA member that does genetic testing and has championship pedigrees and knows his/her stuff. I'll do this because I love my boyfriend and don't want to see him swindled by someone who would sell him a puppy with genetic problems and a temperament that is unbecoming of the wonderful yorkie. I don't want him to have to waste one tear because I didn't do my research and find an ethical breeder. In essence, yeah, I am looking for the best. I want the friendliest, healthiest, best looking yorkie in the whole world for him. The easiest way to do that is to go to a GOOD breeder.
YTCA members are good breeders because they are voted on, because they abide by the code of conduct and ethics. The scrutinize each other to make sure that no one is giving the YTCA a bad name. If the ethics of that organization goes downhill, then membership means nothing and you don't know who to trust. You bet your buns that I support an organization that would kick people out for bad breeding practices, it's in my best interest!
