Great Post!
When I bought Tucker, my entire family wanted me to breed him with my sister's female. They thought that just because I happened to have a male and she happened to have a female that we should automatically breed. After all we did pay lots of money for them, right? And we could get our mney back, right? And then everyone in the family could have a cute little yorkie right? WRONG! I was so against it and when I went ahead with his neuter, I think some of the famiyl were upset. Well, guess what? Even though Tucker is a very cute and very sweet little dog, he has very bad teeth and I just found out that he has luxating patella. Also, now that my sister's dog has grown up, she is showing signs of aggression. So, guess what kind of dogs we would have produced? So, great post! I hope that anyone who is considering breeding their pets will seriously reconsider. Otherwise, I'm afraid that this breed that we all love and cherish is going to disappear. |
