Notice the phrase is "relatively small"--acknowledging they are a problem, but not the biggest problem. Many, many "back-yard breeders" care deeply for their dogs and would never mistreat them as the true puppymills do. While they often do not breed completely to standard, many fit the description of a "reputable" breeder in every other way. Again, please note I said "many", not "all". I do realize some do not; however, again they are a relatively small part of the problem.
Regardless of our views about breeding to standard, I don't think anyone would disagree that it is much worse to keep a dog in deplorable conditions than to breed a healthy off-standard dog. Looking at the big picture, it is a completely different thing to breed a healthy silver Yorkie in good conditions, than to breed a female every heat until she dies with no vet care, no human interaction, in cruel surroundings. And in the big picture, it does make more sense to spend your time fighting those breeding in deplorable conditions first....and then tackle those not breeding to standard.
This is the interpretation I made of Dudley's post, anyway. Apology in advance if I interpreted it wrong.  |

I am trying to post this in a manner in whch each and everyone of us that reads this
wil touch and reach there hearts. The post above may be true but
there are still more than a few of what I say bad BYB or whatever you want
to tag it out there look at southeast texas.com and view adds same old people posting adds on litters some of these adds stay on there 365 days a year
no down time claim to be caring loving breeders home raised ect ect...
even advertise showing . This is life and I know it
but the fact is there is more than a few out there who I am not talking
about have yorkies that just don't have what you said the right color
that is off beat to this post the breeders that bother me the most are those who have problems and turn there head and blame on everthing else and will not get health checks on parents or puppies and continue to pump out the puppies. that bothers me!!! Will they take back puppys that don't work out or have health issues I doubt it especially after the 48 hr. health guarantee
is up!!! Breeding females heat after heat up to the ripe old age
of 9 oh yah the biggest sad story I have heard is well she just loves
puppys and I cannot deny her of that!!! she looks at me and says she wants babies!!!PLEASE!!!! already had most likley 12 litters maybe more.(sick) They are the ones that just keep
kidding thereselves or trying to believe because they do give food and water to these dogs its all right and they live in a house filled with over 20 breeding dogs breeding every heat!!!
running lose in the house that its o.k. all for the love of the breed. wake up and smell the coffee!! JUST BREED RESPONSIBlE. That is what this thread is about!!!
