My personal opinion is also that if you place your dogs with full breeding rights, no questions asked, then IMO you are not doing the breed any favors, should NOT be breeding period and not the type person I would want a dog from.  (And that is putting it VERY mildly.)
And again, it is VERY unfortunate that this is the "norm" and what SHOULD be done everytime is "uncommon."
As far as this being a problem with other breeds, I can imagine it is, just on a much smaller scale. I know that Shih Tzus are very common in my area and it is a problem with them as well. |
I agree.
As far as the other breeds, again..I agree. Yorkies have become such a popular breed especially here the past few or so years with celebrities now toting them around...it is a breed that "everybody" wants....so...after looking for one...seeing the prices and now in desperation..the majority of the "everybody" will go to the cheaper ones that are registered by joe shmoe or the designer mutts because they at least resemble one or it is at least 1/2 yorkie.
I typically don't get riled up when the teacup name is mentioned...I get more riled up with the whole designer B.S...it disgusts me! I have never and will never pay for a mutt...which, cute or not, is still just that...a mutt.
Off my soapbox...
