Now, anyone who does research on breeding yorkies (which I have) knows that breeding them that tiny is not for the love of the yorkie standards but just trying to make tinies! I realize she is a YT and the vast majority of YT are here for the love of the yorkie standards, she however has proven she is not. I am not saying she doesn't love her pups just stating that when you try to breed for tinies you end up risking the moms life and health. And on another note, she posted a yorkie mom that couldn't produce so she had to get rid of her. Right there proves she doesn't care. I have always had my babies as pets and anyone who can just get rid of one of their pups because she can't produce is just beyond me. I think it is ridiculously heartless! She obviously doesn't love this pup or there would be nothing that would make her get rid of her!
So go ahead and bash me, I am entitled to my opinion!! |
I will do my best to not bash you but I do feel the need to speak up about some things here for my friend Natalie.
- First off if us breeders kept all our females that couldn't produce puppies for us we would be HOARDERS and not breeders. I commend Natalie for placing her in a loving home at little or No cost except shipping. This fact shows how much she loves her dogs imo.
- Secondly your comment about it showing she doesn't care is uncalled for imo. If she didn't care she would not have made it important for her to be spayed and given a loving home as her main concern.
- Thirdly you are entitled to your opinion as we all are, but when you say negative things about someone without clearly knowing the true facts that to me is being unnecessarily mean and rude.
- Fourthly Yes she breeds tinys but has been doing this for over 25 years and has small males that can safely allow her smaller girls to safely whelp their puppies. She also has tiny genetics behind them and has proven over time that there is a desire for people to own them smaller. For example there are alot of people who have tinys from one breeder or another and desire to get a second yorkie. They go to Natalie to purchase one because they can get a tiny one small enough to safely play and keep their first small one company. Natalie is very picky as to where her tiny yorkies go and she keeps them way longer then most breeders do so she can be 100% certain they are free of any health issues.
Yes I have a few smaller females myself but not as small as Natalie does. I generally have most of the standard sized females I use for breeding, however I have seen first hand how easily a 3 lb female bred to a 1 1/2 male can have puppies (I have 4 puppies whelped here in Calif with me now from one of Natalies tiny females)
I hope you take what I have said and consider being abit more polite with each other on here.
