If I was buying a pet, I would not care about anything except how that ONE dog looked in the flesh. If I am breeding, then I do care what his relatives look like..that is the gene pool he is going to draw from...a line, not one dog.
Few studs reproduce themselves over and over..infact get a good look at the grandparents since many traits skip a generation.
It is much more then how he looks..how does he move, his structure..all this goes into making healthy puppies. Some might ask, what does structure have to do with a pet...ask someone with a roached back pet or bowed legs? etc,etc... |
Pat,
Well said!
Do you have a web-site? If so, is it Primrose Yorkies?
Would love more information on your line of Yorkies.
Thanks,
