ohhhhhhhh this makes me so very angry. we here at yorkie talk try to educate people on breeding to improve the breed and the standard.
you came here seeking advise and some very good show breeders and breeders have giving you some advise.
please listen to them.
i have learned so much from these people on yt that in my area, i am known to be a reputable breeder eventhough i only have 2 litters a year. i already have a list of people waiting for my next litter in october (hopefully). it makes me feel good that these wonderful people here on yt have taught me so much and i still have much to learn. it feels good to do the right thing.
please, if you want to breed....get two dogs who fit the standard.
please do not add to the poor breeding that is already out there.
be a reputable, loving, caring breeder. |
I know you already apologized for this post but there are so many things that are being misunderstood so I want to respond.
The 10 pound yorkie is not registered (even though she is a full yorkie) and so those puppies were not sold. They were given away to family members to have as pets to love (not picture perfect little Yorkies as some seem think pets have to be). Secondly, that dog is not the grandmother of my baby. The stud of that litter is the father and a totally different female is the mother. And you will probably tell me that is not the right way to breed either, but for one, I didn't breed those puppies-my in-laws did. And I am sure glad they did because it gave me my baby. We just want to make puppies for us and others to love. We will definitely keep the safety of our dogs in mind, but if less than perfect puppies are produced, we will love them just the same. I love dogs, not the history and progression of the Yorkie breed.
