The majority of breeders, including those on YT, are not show-breeders...that is why there are so many yorkies out there that do not meet the yorkie standard. That's also why so many of our yorkies have genetic problems. Yorkies are so overbred now that many don't even look like yorkies anymore. |
here we go again with you. How can you be so naive as to say that unless we show, we are not breeding to the standard? Do you think we don't know the standard? Sure there are a lot of BYB out there but there are also some very, caring, ethical people that have good foundation dogs and know exactly what they are doing. For you to continue to make statements on these threads like you have recently is just plain wrong. a lot of what you say is good, then you ruin it all be making such blanket statements such as the one you just made.
