I NEVER said I thought i knew it all about yorkies. I have been onthe site lurking/ reading comments made by you folks , whom I consider the authorities, for about 2 yrs now. I am a very scientific person. I am obsessed with yorkies,I don't have a mentor. I only have the internet and so it seems to me that the best way to preserve/ protect the breed if I choose to have a few litters is to buy the best stock I CAN possibly get. Would any of you disagree with that statement? Isn't that what you do? you don;t get one good sire and breeds to inferior dams just to see if by a miracle you can get a great pup out of it.
And no... I tried to get my girl from NA and was shut out. I was placed on waiting lists.
I was asked for thousands of dollars and then told I could not breed . (And I wanted a small puppy, with absolutely no intention of breeding).
My point is, how can you say I will harm the breed? My intention of charging alot for a pup does in itself protect from harm.
Was embarassed that I said
Chandler didn;t look so good at
Eukanuba. oops..but see, I am not trying to break into your sport of showing. i just admire the breed for its many variables and the magic that occurs when all the variables come together to produce a truly magnificent yorkie. I have watched the video of Westminister last yr a dozen times. So beautiful and elegant.
So what is so wrong with my plan for eeking out some happiness that involves baby yorkies? I can 't see why you are expecting me to start at the bottom with some inferior stock as some kind of paying your dues thing. It is a free world and people do get what they want sometimes, even if it is not under your control.
I do apologize if I have offended but I see no other way to
obtain my goals but to circumvent NA Breeders who have closed ranks somewhat. I know you mean well, but be assured I do not intend to do anything to harm the yorkie gene pool. |
My question is if you desire to breed superior quality why not show? You will definitely need education to reach your goal and showing is an excellent form of education. Why not have your stock evaluated by someone who knows alot more about the breed then you do? Why not find a mentor who can teach you the ropes and get you started on the right foot? How will you know a superior dog when you see it? There is so much to learn about the correct physical attributes of a good yorkie that it takes years and years to develop an eye for a dog. It takes years to study the different lines so that you can know who has the substance that you like, the coat texture that you want to breed, the color that holds over time, the movement that gives you a thrill. If you don't know all of these things you won't know what to put together to produce what you want. If you don't have a good chance of producing your goal than you are just making more pets for your own enjoyment. Is it fair to put your bitch in harm's way just because you think it would be fun to have a litter of pups? These are important questions that you have to ask yourself.
