Isn't the second statement contradictory to that? |
The 'standard' I was referring to in that second statment was not referring to the breed standard. But yes, I am for sticking to the standard--it is what
defines a Yorkie as a Yorkie, if that makes sense.... Plus, it was written w/ a bit of sarchasm behind it...
As far as your other question regarding the statement I made regarding nerve/circulation...FULL function, not NO function. Yes, I've seen the videos too....don't recall if the age of the pups was ever mentioned, come to think of it. I've also seen with my own eyes docking done by very expereinced and trained individuals and the pups never woke up, flinched or at most gave a quick whimper and that was it...so I can assume and go off research regarding the progression of nerve developement in the extremities. (I may be able to dig through my stuff and home and fine that info....I'll check later.)
Understand what you mean though, BTW.
