Of course, you have unscrupulous breeders breeding out of standard dog every day, so this is just another one to add on the pile.
Thank God those who developed this breed so many years ago ignored that standard or we wouldn't have these little guys at all.
I don't have a strong opinion one way or the other about docking or not docking tails. Both my babies came to me with docked tails and I think they look adorable that way. Long tails are beautiful too, I'm sure. If it's true that at 3 days they don't have the nerve development in their tails to feel the pain, I see no harm. Although I saw a video online showing a puppy getting it's tail docked and it seemed the puppy experienced quite a bit of pain. Maybe it was just distressed being held and being away from it's Mother.
More to my point. Strictly out of curiousity. I find it interesting that you made both of the statements above. I assume you are for sticking to the standard.
Right? Isn't the second statement contradictory to that?
I also don't have a problem with people breeding Morkies, Yorkie Poos, etc..
As long as they are healthy, that's all that really matters to me.
I will add that I have not nor do I ever intend to breed any dog. I also own 2 full Yorkies and 1 full Golden Retriever. So I'm not partial for that reason either.
Really just curious. |
