I watched a very interesting show over the week-end regarding the
Jack Russel Terrier.
Do you know that the pups are not registered until they reach one year
old.
Why? This is the best idea I have ever read:
To make sure that all litters are healthy and that no health problems arise in
them before reaching one year old. This way the breed is safe from
defaults in future breeding securing the breed standards in the future.
If you look at this breed they have not changed in 100 years. This is
why. I think that's amazing. Perhaps if the Yorkshire Terrier did this
more than less would be more to the breed standard and puppy mills and BYB would not be able to register their pups.
Very interesting I thought.
