So as a result, you have a bunch of dogs that don't even remotely resemble what a Yorkie should look like and post even here from people who want to know if their Yorkie is pure or why their Yorkie ended up being 16 pounds when they are only supposed to be 7 or take your pick of a dozen genetic illnesses that people are facing with their dogs.
No, unfortunately, "the more being bred" is not neccessarily a good thing. |
Well if I was the only one breeding them that would make for an extremely small gene pool. There would not be a whole lot of variety in the pedigrees to choose from. This is what I was talking about. By others breeding goldens there is more variety in the gene pool.
