I don't know what the solution is, I'm just curious. There are so many wonderful animal-loving people her, how many of our babies actually came from reputable breeders (I'm NOT implying that future pets should not). |
well that is a good post..
and what your saying is probably true about responsible breeders and meeting demands.. but if you do not show it is extremely hard to get yorkies from show breeders.. even with a promise.. I do not show.. but I will only breed what you agree I should breed.. I mean what more could show breeders ask for.. almost like a contract.. ok.. work together.. if you end up with show quality that the breeder wants then she can have it..do it so that, you do not sell the puppy's without the show breeder saying I do not want any.. then the person sells on a spray/neuter contract.. and follow the guide lines of the good breeder.. even that is very hard to do... in actual fact that breeder is then promoting more baby's of the breeders line..
In fact I think that is what Betty Ann Durrer does, she shows.. has breeders that have her lines.. and she gets the shows, and the person sells the pets..
For she is too busy with shows.. you cannot do the amount of shows she does, and breed as many of her lines neither..
That way a breeder does not lose her lines.. yet her name gets out.. and she has a good chance of keeping herself in show puppies..I do not know Betty Ann at all... but I do know of a breeder that has her yorkies..she gets to co own one or two that way also..
