Hope no one thinks of buying those poor puppies at all. Buying one would contribute to breeding what only vaguely resembles a yorkie in poor conditions, poor feeding, with people who are willing to dock at 10 weeks. When I saw the picture, I knew before going back to look, that it was going to be an ACA registration. First I thought of the Amish puppymills so prevalent in PA but it looks like the porch of a trailer, so probably someone who bought a couple of puppy mill dogs.
I would be for voting down docking in the US, but we would have to get YTCA and AKC on board with that. I thought it was a matter of safety and hygenic reasons, not vanity. I think they look a lot prettier with their tail. But I would hate to have more tail stuck out there to get caught in doors and covered in poop when they get it on themselves. I have to clean butts enough as it is, but that is what baby wipes are for. Sometimes I think Ben must just accidently sit on it after he does it. YUCK! Not his best feature. |
