I was reading another forum and several breeders said.."this is all fine for you, but we breed pets, so adhering to the standard is unimportant for pets...the pet lover is going to be very upset if they pay good money for a Yorkie and the breeder has no clue as to what one is suppose to look or act like...you can only water down milk so many times...soon it is water and is no longer milk.
A breeder who is dedicated and strives to produce the best of the best each time is very valuable to the breed...this is the area where I see a difference in the types of breeders there are, rather then backyard, show, hobby, miller. |
THAT was very well said !
