I guess the realization for me this weekend was: This is something that SHOULD be a routine practice for ALL breeders. Instead, it is so rarely done (considering the number of breeders there are) that it comes as a shock and is "unheard of" when mentioned to others.
It even happens here all of the time, I think of us YTers as the most Yorkie lovin' group around who 'get it', so to even see that attitude and pattern here from time to time...
