breeding....show quality....? Hi, I am just curious… in another post someone mentioned that if you were thinking about breeding then you need to get a show quality dog. I was just wondering what everyone else thought of this. I got my little bailey girl from a great breader and baileys parents were not show quality, (her grandparents were) and I have been searching for a sister for bailey for quite a while and have been to many sites and talked to many breeders who seem great (many right here on yt) and on most of these sites all the sires and dams that are listed are not show quality. From what I have learned (and im not claiming to know everything, that is why I am asking you all, because I know that there are so many very knowledgeable people in this group and I am still young and have a lot to learn before I actually breed) but… from what I have learned, a show quality dog is not a common thing and there are many yorkies that are not of show quality that would be fine to breed. I am by no means trying to criticize anyone and my intentions are not to offend anyone. I am just looking for peoples opinions on the subject because like I said, there are many great breeders right here on yt and not all of the dogs they breed are “show” dogs… I really appreciate any input you all may have and value your opinions. Again, I ask… Please please understand that I am only 20 years old and am very interested in breeding and all I am trying to do is gather information at this point so please no critisizm… Thanks so much again everyone!!!
