If I did get one with papers I would never send them in, waste of money for me. I just want to see their pedigree and I do have to have knowledge on him being registered or able to be. |
There are many people who also don't register because they too think it is a waste of money....I think in the end, the only true way to protect your lines and such is to have all puppies fixed before they go to new homes..otherwise people will breed them regardless, slap them with the aca or equiv. and sell them for as much as you are...and with the same description...97% of people don't know the difference between AKC, ACA, APRI....so its neither here nor there to them. They don't care if they have champion bloodlines or ch sired..they just want the yorkie that is going to make them money. I work with a gal that has this mentality...she wanted one of my yorkies so bad..so she could breed...I told her no, they weren't available and by the week's end she bought two s**t zoos (Hee hee). She just had her first litter...she also has Mastiffs and told me she wanted to go with Yorkies but she just couldn't afford it then...she wanted me to go in with her and build a kennel (on our land of course) so we could make lots of money.!!!!! That is (sorry to say) the mentality of most people who decide to "breed". Its just like another get rich scheme...they think because Yorkies are a popular breed that all they have to do is buy two and BAM we are in the money...and in the end...they are going to make some because they are mass producing and selling to more uneducated people that don't understand the difference between what they bought and what they should have bought...Yeah...that's my chapter for the day.
