Does anyone realize that a simple receptor from a gene being accepted can mess with the perfect STANDARD of the Yorkie? Do you realize that it can happen and it may have nothing to do with anything the breeder is doing? This receptor changes the trait and it will make it a recessie trait. The perfect yorkie now is soiled. *hanging head* This is a reality each time a bitch and sire are bred. We can educate ourselves as much as possible and hope that our knowledge and breeding practices work toward the good of the breed but believe it or not, some of us will miss.
To wash ones hands that since they are not breeding they have no responsiblity, I disagree. People purchase them, just as people purchase dogs from pet shops. Both need breeders. Now, I'm not saying each breeder is the same but we have to step back and take check of what we are doing here and our responsibilities. The fact is, we are all here and we have something in common - we have a dog (98% of us). |
Can't speak for anyone else, but its not my ego. I am just darn tired of the parti bashing on yorkietalk.
