Just because a breeder is a backyard breeder doesn't necessarily mean they are bad people or don't love and care for their dogs. They just arent the type of breeder I would buy from or recommend from now on. Doesn't mean anything so far as your baby goes...mine came from a BYB...and I love her to death and wouldn't trade her for the #1 yorkie in the world! I just know that any dog I purchase from now on will come from a breeder that meets my criteria for a reputable breeder. |
I respect that you have good strong opinions and strict guidelines for yourself as you try to educate, but I just wanted to say that this was very carefully and kindly worded.
