It is popular to look at wolf behaviour and to conclude that dog behaviour has changed. Of course it has. Some behaviours seen in the wolf would have no purpose in a modern dog : burying food, for example, or vomiting up food for cubs. Some behaviours are not feasible because the conformation of the dog has been changed and this prevents some activities. Rightly or wrongly, we have tended to select dogs to retain their juvenile state and this has meant drop ears ( not as expressive as erect ones) while hairy faces and docked tails inhibit a dog's ability to convey messages to other dogs. That modern canine behaviour has changed from that of the wolf is not in itself a problem in the majority of cases. It could be in dogs that go feral but in most modern societies we are seeking to avoid that. The border collie herding sheep is following the hunting habit of the wolf but the exercise does not end up in a kill because man has brought about behavioural modification through selection. In contrast the fighting nature of some Pit Bull terriers is not the least bit wolf-like and represents the corrupting influence of man upon this tragic breed, |
I'm sorry but what does that have to do with breeding "teacup" yorkies??? This just seems really off-topic and not to be rude, but a little uneducated based on what I know of the dog as a species. Did you know that wolves and dogs were actually reclassified as the exact same species? The domesticated dog is only a subspecies of the wolf.

This is just a thinker for you.
I am a SPAY NEUTER person. I have allowed 3 babies to go to families to breed. All dogs are LIMITED REGISTRATION......PERIOD. I do not trust most other Breeders to take this on as seriously as I do. It is alot of work, dedication and LOVE.
I do not believe in Labradoodles, Yorkteese, Pomapoos....These are also referred to Designer/Hybrids, THERE ARE TENS OF THOUSANDS OF DESIGNER MIXES IN AMERICA'S SHELTERS AND RESCUE PROGRAMS LOOKING FOR FAMILIES TO LOVE........ I do not breed lots of puppies and do not want to and if you read my responses on the video's, I far more encourage ADOPTION. Tinies aren't for everyone, neither is an Afghan, a Chihuahua or some other breeds.
I sure would like to see Congress pass a law allowing Breeders to own no more than a set amount of dogs/ cats. I think punishment for animal abuse / neglect should be FAR more than it is and fines greatly increased. There should be more programs assisting those who can provide proper care for a pet but are in in a low income bracket (and qualify)to have their animals spayed/neutered at a reduced or 0 cost.
I ALSO think EVERY BREEDER who registers a litter should be required to pay a small fee per pup/kitten to go to Spay/Neuter Programs and Shelters.
Breeding is a Responsibility. So is owning any animal. Hope I didn't offend anyone. It's just how I feel.

That is great...great that you have a spay/neuter contract, great that you don't breed designer mixes, and great that you only breed a few litters a year
But that does NOT excuse you from purposely breeding tiny yorkies who are at more risk of a c-section and dieing from giving birth, and that does not excuse you from scamming uneducated people into paying more for a lie and doing a disservice to this breed by breeding undersized dogs.
Also, I agree with others...why are you writing a review from a breeder you've never had anything to do with? It's one thing to ask if anyone has had any personal experience with this breeder and what their experience was, but most people ask this question hoping for good experiences, not "dirt"
