I have stayed on topic the entire time. This member is being told that the only reason to breed is to perfect the breed according to the YTCA breed standard which doesn't like even "slight" underbites, so I was merely pointing out that the YTCA standard isn't everyone's idea of the ideal yorkie, and if the underbite is not severe and will not be life altering and her vet encourages the breeding then she feel comfortable with her decision to breed her dog. She has been responsible and done her research. She will not be a bad breeder just because she chooses to breed dogs which would not win in a YTCA dog show.
That's all. |
Okay. You are being irresponsible advising/encouraging someone to breed a dog with a serious fault. Stop it.
The breed standard exists to maintain breed type. It exists to assure that Yorkies continue to look and act like Yorkies. This is America and if you want to go your own way and breed dogs that don't conform to the standard - go for it. It's just that at a certain point, the puppies you are producing can no longer be called Yorkies. But it is irresponsible to breed an animal with a serious fault like a bad bite. It contributes to the deterioration of the health in the future. It should not be done.
