[QUOTE=scrapindee;2148681]This has been a very interesting thread.
As some of you know, the half Yorkie half Biewer is called a splitter by many folks. While everyone may have their opinion of breeding to a splitter, I am appalled at how many people have called me interested in a Biewer and wanting to breed to their CKC or unregistered Yorkie. My opinion, is that if you were wanting to be breeding back to a Yorkie, you would want to be breeding to a champion Yorkie with an excellent pedigree-- Not your average pet Yorkie.
I attempt to screen people very thoroughly -- I have been told that I have been too nosy because I call the Humane Society, search and rescue's, all the vets in your town, animal control to see if they've heard of you. I will call your neighbors.QUOTE]
I was just wondering, because you say that you call peoples neighbors. Do you ask potential buyers for the phone numbers of their neighbors?? Like as references? Because in my case, if someone were to do that, I wouldn't be able to give the numbers because I don't know them, and I don't like any of my neighbors so I don't really talk to any of them.
I don't blame you for being thorough, if I bred dogs I would be too. I would never breed just because I would be too attached and would be too scared the people wouldn't be good enough. I was just wondering what you would do in a situation as mine.
