Yet that is exactly how you all started...with asking questions. Makes no sense to me. Why not lay down the risks and costs and offer help when needed instead of jumping on them?
Also, why is the breeders views on people who want their pet to have a litter or two as producing unwanted pets...when the breeder produces far more than just one or two litters?
Again, I'm not huffy...just asking. Oh lord...I really can't stress that I am just debating this and am not at my computer mad, lol. |
The difference is quality and being responsible for the future of the breed. Do you know if your pet is going to produce yorkies that look like yorkies should? Will they have the proper angulation and be able to move the way that a yorkie should? Can you guarantee that there is no LS, LP, Legge Perthes or Collapsed Treachea in your pet's line? I back up my puppies because I have done my homework and will continue to do so. I am striving to produce dogs that will not only be healthy, loving pets but ones that will pass down the desirable traits to the next generation of yorkies. We can either breed willy-nilly and destroy this breed that those who have gone before us worked so hard to create or we can be responsible and insure that Yorkies remain popular because they are gorgeous and yet strong little terriers able to do a days work or cuddle in your lap. I love this breed and will not contribute to it's down fall, how about you?
