Sorry, i don't buy into that. Those same people that say that are real quick to sell their "less than perfect' babies for big bucks so yes, they do make money. i know that the show people are always trying to get that one dog that will do well for them in the show ring. those that don't make the grade there are also sold for some pretty good money. |
I was not addressing you, I was addressing anyone that wanted to answer. But you surely must have had a reason why when you decided to start breeding, whether you are out of the hole for your breeding dogs or not is really not the question.
And yes, show breeders certainly do sell their "pet quality" yorkies, I have 3 that are not able to be shown for one reason or another but that is the reason they breed, to produce a show dog for themselves not a breeding dog for someone else.
