I'm glad you are learning that's the point of great questions! As long as one listens, whether or not it's agreed upon at least maybe one breeder will learn from it!
I guess that's why I get so frustrated when someone just puts together two dogs together and breeds them without first studying the breed and doing much research before breeding. I guess why I am so passionate about it because my first yorkie Jodi had a genetic health issue and we had to put her to sleep at 7 years old several years back and she was named after my daddy who passed away 5 days before I got her and when we lost her due to something that could have been avoided makes me emotional. Losing her and my daddy's name sake makes me just that much more passionate about knowing and doing the right thing! And knowingly breeding genetic health issues is unethical and just plain WRONG! I can't get anymore clearer than that!
