I think a good measure of the "why a breeder is breeding" is the prices they charge.
Furthermore if you think the reason that:
this makes me think that this is the way you think, and you would not want to spay/neuter a parti with health issues. We tend to think others will do the things that we would do. |
Do not read any underlying message into what I write. I say what I mean and I mean what I say. If I thought that show breeders were doing it for the money I would have said exactly that.
You totally twisted everything that I said. No I do not believe that show breeders are in it to sell puppies. Where did I write that? I believe that they would not want to spay/neuter a champion because they would hope to produce more champions. As I clearly stated, some, NOT ALL, it's all about the trophy.
Where did I indicate that I would not spay/neuter a dog with health issues. I clearly stated that I am only interested in developing the parti and I'll also add the golden color in the yorkshire terrier.
I also find it amusing that we parti breeders are repeatedly accused of being in it for the money. I personally have yet to even get a parti puppy. so not sure where you think I am hauling in the $$$$$
call it selling, adopting, or rehoming, it is transfering ownership of a puppy for money. I do the same thing, seeing as I have yet to get a parti puppy, I have yet to sell, adopt, or rehome one. but I have sold fadopted or rehomed all of those that have not been partis.
I don't think it really matters what I say or do, you are going to twist it or translate it into what you think I meant or do.
You do not know me, you do not know my lifestyle, which clearly is not one of a high dollar dog producer. so why do you assume that I am only in it for the money.
