 Long!
So here's the gist of this thread -
Anyone who re-homes a relatively "young" dog without spaying or neutering is not reputable.
ALL reputable breeders will spay/neuter their dogs.
Anyone who breeds outside the standard, is unethical and not reputable.
That people who breed outside the standards is in it only for the money.
That only champion yorkies are worthy of being be bred.
Debarking (and declawing) is cruel and an unnecessary elective procedure - these procedures are preformed under anesthesia.
That "I" don't have the best interest for my dogs.

Not ALL reputable breeders spay and neuter their dogs - that's a general assumption and completely and totally untrue.
Everyone who breeds outside the standards is in it just for the money - again that's an incorrect assumption and could easily be construed as a slanderous statement when directed at an individual breeder.
Some want to try to "right" a "wrong" and some just love the color. These colors have been here for 100+ years, they are coming out of 2 traditional colored, AKC registered Yorkies. Maybe we won't see them in the show ring any time soon, but they deserve to have the same rights as any other yorkie. And again, just because your dog isn't parti colored, does not mean it does not carry the gene and with as much white as I see on many traditional yorkie pups I can pretty much guarantee, we'll be seeing parti color showing up in many more lines.
The Yorkie has been in the top 10 breed list for a while now and most are owned in pet homes. If only champion yorkies were allowed to reproduce, the yorkie would not have been as popular, simply because the supply would not meet the demand.
I haven't heard one person say that tail cropping which is also an elective, unnecessary and in some places a banned procedure, which is done with no anesthesia, as being a cruel or unethical thing? So it's ok to preform one unnecessary and cruel procedure but not another? From what I'm told it takes an extremely skilled vet to preform a debark, not many will debark for that reason but I guess any surgery takes skill and a number of dogs have been lost during a routine spaying procedure. I personally wouldn't debark one of my own dogs but I live on 5 acres and unlike some I don't have to worry about my barking dog disturbing the adjoining apartment or townhouse neighbor.
As for my reasons for selling her, I think I explained that in the beginning and I listed all of the qualities that I thought would help find this girl the best home, whether it be an apartment renter or a small breeder who's dogs are a part of the family and who live and have run of the home like mine do. It's my screening that will determine where she will go and what home will be best for her - no one elses.
So feel free to belittle someone you know nothing about, feel free to twist and contort the truth when you have no facts - only negative assumptions and vindictiveness. If it makes you feel better - Judge away but there's only one Judge who's opinion matters to me and he said:
"Thou Shalt Not Bear False Witness against thy Neighbor"
So judge as you may but be aware that you to are being Judged as you do.
With this I'm going to see if the Admin will end this classified listing! |
