 chocolate yorkie
If I am not mistakened, I thought that reputable, responsible dog breeders were only breeding to IMPROVE the breed, not just create puppies to sell. I also thought that reputable, responsible dog breeders used the AKC standard for the breed as a guidline when breeding a litter.(or Canadian Kennel Club standard, etc) So, if many breeders are not following the standard in order to create "rare" colors, then arent they "breeding down" and in a sense, "ruining" the breed by purposely not following the standard? Isnt it the same if someone started breeding Yorkies with the "rare" curley hair or the "rare" blue eyes or the "rare" short hair? How about a "rare" top-line like a Bedlington Terrier? HMMMMMMM.................
IF YOU CAN BREED IT THE $$$$$$ WILL COME
Well, you all know how I feel about "rare" Yorkies now!! Sorry if I dont agree with all of you, hope I educated some of you, and I didnt mean to step on toes and hurt feelings. I know all of you LOVE your "rare" yorkies more than life itsself and I know you spoil them rotten!!!!! Just as it should be. I will get off my soap box now. Lynn |
