She is a very nice lady and is knowledgable about the yorkie breed. With that said, I do agree with the ?'s about the amount of different breeds and such. I am the type, sometimes to a fault, to give the benefit of the doubt.
My husband wants to breed Belgium Malinois because of his love for that breed. He has one as a K-9 police partner. Would that make me a bad breeder to have two different breeds? How many is too many....personally, I wouldn't want to do any other than Yorkies but that is just me. What is your opinion on this? I believe Wanda has three different breeds and of course the "designer dogs".
Would I buy from her again.....I didn't. I ended up going with a different breeder for Peppee. |
Having more than one breed doesn't automatically rule a breeder out to me. But it's something that makes me a little more cautious. "Accidental" mixed breed litters are a possibility with breeders that have more than one breed, and I also I think it's difficult to become an expert on ONE breed, let alone two or three. I do know of some reputable breeders that have more than one breed though. I would consider someone who bred maybe two breeds (although I prefer to buy from someone that only breeds one)..but three or more is a rule out for me personally (but doesn't necessarily mean they are a bad breeder).
What is an absolute no no to me though is breeding mixes on purpose. I will never ever support a breeder that does that. HUGE deal to me
