Somebody who just get's some random dogs and starts breeding them, no offense to you as a person, but you shouldn't be breeding yorkies at all. First of all, you are only breeding pet yorkie dogs. Those yorkies could have came from anywhere, like a puppymill, petstore, random person over the internet... So are you supporting this? The only dogs people should be breeding are champion dogs, but there are some exceptions. People should only breed to the dog's breed standard and therefore, only to better the breed. Do you know all the lines in the puppy's five-generation pedigree? There's no telling if that puppy will have health problems in the future, because you probably don't even have any idea what your dog's health would be in ten years! I know people who pay $5,000-10,000 a year for their single dog's vet bills. Those dogs are not from reputable breeders who breed for healthy pups either. Why else would somebody be purposefully making puppies in this world where there are shelters and rescues full homeless adorable puppies longing for a warm home and a loving owner? WHY! For money? Because you think puppies are "cute"? I understand that your parents "like" your dogs, but honestly, that is not a good enough reason to be breeding. I'm sure they would love any dog in the shelter! |
Wow, just wow.
She's NOT a puppy mill breeder, she's not just giving the pups to anyone, she's not bringing them to a shelter, AND she's charging basically no money, especially for a Yorkie! As I said previously, I'd PREFER Yorkies to have a bit larger standard. I love my teaPOT boy and wouldn't want him any other way, can't imagine him any smaller!
Also... you CAN buy a pup from a very reputable breeder and STILL spend $1000's upon $1000's for your pups health. You never know. I've known friends & family who have gotten dogs from reputable breeders only to spend a ton on vet bills for things that went wrong...
I fully support adopting a dog from a shelter and think it's a great thing. But there was no need for a comment like that someone who is trying to get her pups in loving, pet only homes! It's already done and over with, the pups are here, nothing else you can do! Jeez.
