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. |
No one has perfect dogs. And if they say they do-someone's has lied to them. But there is a difference between close to standard and grossly not.
What people are trying to tell you is that you should breed within the standard and with plenty of education behind you. No one is telling you NOT to breed. Just do it the right way.
Who are we kidding here? Both we and you know you are going to do whatever you please and no one in here can do a darned thing about it......right?
People can try to educate you til they are blue in the face and it is ultimately up to you to file it in the garbage or learn. They are not attacking you or being ogres. "Attacking" here on YT gets thrown around a lot by those who don't like what they hear.........even if it's the truth. It's a way of playing the role of 'Martyr Mary' and just portraying as victims so someone with their beliefs, values etc will come to the rescue and say "it's okay sweety-people are just so mean and nasty"..........thus validating your intentions.
Lastly, I am assuming you fell in love with the yorkshire terrier breed. The yorkie terrier of today, and the one depicted by the AKC etc..
Now, assuming that.........then I would assume you would care "about the history and progression of the breed". If not, then you are being a hypocritical by saying you love the breed.
I am not attacking you by the way, I am just being honest and blunt. I expect others to be the same with me. This is all part of the 'learning process' and believe it or not-very valuable
Good luck.
