I am not a breeder nor will I ever be but I am very thankful for the breeders out there that do the breed a great service! I just got my little "Paxton" three weeks ago from Glenda Beavers , Tsa La Gi Yorkies. It is funny right before the Oprah show aired I wrote Glenda a quick email and sent some new pictures of my new baby and thanked her for the beautiful Yorkies she has bred. I also told her that it would be a a huge loss for the Yorkshire Terrier when she decides to stop showing and breeding. If it were not for her I would not have such a gorgeous, healthy and prime example of the breed. I am truly blessed that she trusted her baby with me. All of your breeders on this forum who spend every waking moment trying to improve the breed I commend you!
Those groups who are trying to make sure every pet in America is spayed or neutered are just not realistic and should try to use that energy on real issues.
What about the million homeless people and what about all the abused children and the list goes on and on. If we as a nation cannot even feed every hungry person on a dailey basis do you really think this will happen? I doubt it....don't forget the part that the U.S.D.A. plays in our nations Puppy Mills....Thanks to our government who has yet to feed the hungry, house the homeless, save out battered children are they going to stop or rural states from breeding dogs when our shelters are overflowing with unwanted pets and furthermore enforce neutering and spaying?
Did you know that According the Humane Society of America a HUGE number of Puppy Mills are now in Europe
...you guessed it in poor economic countries where people are just trying to put food on the table. The sad part is .....The United States of America has NO import laws...anyone can send a puppy to the United States and sell it. If you think the puppy mills are bad here.....think about the torture they are enduring elsewhere and then being shipped on a plane for 24 hours plus...sick, cold, injured or simply just too young to be taken from it's Mother. If we cannot as nation control this type of industry even on a state level then how in the world do you suppose spaying and neutering your pet will ever be enforced? I think I liked my life better before I knew all of this existed and realized how barbaric we really are
....ignorance was bliss!
