I dont know a thing this breeder, other then Ive seen the site, I once asked a question to the owner, they answered it promptly even though it had nothing to do with purchasing. I am not condoning or comdemning this site.
I just wanted to give a little insight why breeders kennel their dogs. Not everyone will agree.
My yorkies get to run roughly 8 hours a day together, unless pregnant etc. then they are separated. I can not watch them 24-7, they get human attention, its split up amongst them for special time.
Having more then one and having them run together all the time it is literally impossible to tell who is having a loose stool, who may have vomitted...etc. SO kenneling is a way of monitoring the health of the dog and have some control, where as if they run freely all the time it is out of control. At the end of my dogs day they want in their own area, its their very own personal space.
I try to keep a very clean area, and I have to be able to bleach, disinfect, remove poo...lol etc........when the dogs go out for the day,same for their kennels, cleaned bleached.
They also have grassy fenced area to run in the nice weather.....unfortunately hasnt been weather I can permit them to go out right now.....but they love it when its permitted.........spring is coming and this will be a frequent occurance soon!
I just cant let my dogs roam freely thru the house.......I have to many and its unsanitary. They tend to try to outmark each other.
Im not trying to justify a breeder who kennels a dog and never lets it out.........that is completely cruel and I know it happens. I am just saying I wont judge unless I know the complete setup.
Im not even completely happy with my setup right now........this spring we are converting our separate two car garage into kennels, heat & air, doggie door, with a great big run!!!!!! with trees etc.........I just cant wait. Right now My yorkies have a extra large not remodeled room in our farmhouse....its all theirs. |
