That is my policy....I am not speaking for any rescue. I think that to take in dogs like that is enabling the backyard breeders and mills.
I have heard people say that the dogs will be euthanized if rescue does not take them...BUT I have seen them take these pups in while other yorkies DO get euthanized in shelters. I saw one here in TX where the rescue was driving to MO to pick up 12 yorkies from a mill...and there were two here in TX in shelters that no one could take! That is just not right imo.
A really reputable breeder should not have the numbers to turn over to rescue over and over and over. OK..I have repeated myself.
BUT...that thread the other day had nothing to do with a breeder asking for help placing a couple of pups. There was something seriously wrong in that case from what I saw. |
I guess it just depends on what state you are in. Here we very seldom get any yorkies from shelters b/c they aren't in them. Most of the time if they are it's b/c a breeder dumped them there.. i'd say 80% or more of our dogs are from Puppymills. We DO accept any yorkie from any breeder b/c if we don't they will just simply take them to auction.. no big deal to them.. but i've been there and it's a HORRIBLE place... So is that the better solution? No it's not. Every rescue operates differently and has it's own standards but here in oklahoma that's what we deal with..
