Sure they are breeders throwing 2 dogs together - but that has nothing to do with this thread. The thread is about being a little nicer to someone on a budget. GOD - with the soaring economy and the cost of living - it must be SO nice to make so much money off the backs of your dogs...
sorry - but your statement was snobbish and in general - just mean. We all can't have showdogs - and I DO agree there are too many people breeding - but to call these dogs 'ugly and unsound' is just mean. This site is too big for comments like that.... |
I speak the plain truth. The Yorkshire Terrier has been carelessly overbred to fill a large demand from people who either cannot afford one or who otherwise choose to skimp on the cost of a good one. This practice is now endangering the integrity of the breed. We're seeing liver shunt, MVD, and luxating patellas in staggering numbers, and an abundance of dogs that are so far out of conformity to the breed standard that most people probably don't know what a real Yorkshire Terrier is supposed to look like.
