3) Since Ms. Biewer is the premier developer of this breed, why dont all of the clubs follow her standard and breeding practices? I don't know how long you have been breeding, but do you remember when you first started breeding how you thought you knew everything and the longer you bred the more you realized you really didn't know much at all? I personally remember those days as though they were yesterday.
Well, I think this is a major problem here.
4) Wouldnt it be better for the breed if the clubs could somehow reach an agreement and work together? I think so. I would love to sit down and talk to everyone. |
Thank you for your reply! Yes I remember when I started out. Boy, was I ignorant!! Glad those days are over, but I do enjoy learning more and more every day it seems. But its nothing like way back when!LOL
So are the basic differences in the clubs is that one thinks Biewers are pure Yorkie and the other says its a mix of a couple of breeds by the Mars test(I think)? And if that test is reliable, then why does one club believe the results and the other doesnt?
I am not trying to stir up trouble between you guys!LOL
