How can one profess to be a Yorkie breeder and enthusiasts if the very definition and description of the breed offends them? (not so much directed to breeders of non-standard colored dogs, just in regards to the statement that physical characteristics of the dog don't matter) |
Who said that physical characteristics of the dog don't matter?
Don't put words in people's mouths. Physical characteristics should matter very much to responsible breeders, but not all breeders' preferences are the same. Duh.
If physical characteristics don't matter to a breeder, then what's the point of breeding? There would be no point in breeding. Physical characteristics matter, but what matters the MOST is HEALTH. Responsible breeders would agree to that.
