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. |
I would have to disagree with this. I am not interested in breeding yorkies and never will be. I am aware of the difference of AKC , CKC, APRI etc. to know I prefer to stay within AKC guidelines. I have stated plenty of times AKC standards for me. I do not want to show, breed, or sale a yorkie now or anytime within my life time. I have also stated pedigree does matter to me. So I did not fall off the truck yesterday
Yeah maybe breeders should neuter/spay the pets before leaving their homes.
Heck you think at $800-2500 a pet price it will already be done, but its not so in the long run I will have to spend more money in doing this so why should I spend another $25.00 for a piece of paper that states he is Registered. When I already know that he is.
