I couldn't believe the breeder told me the puppy only have a umbilical hernia, so he is still a breeding quality. Of course I know what a umbilical hernia is, and if one of my puppy has it, I will definitely sell it as a pet, and the new owner will be notified first before the puppy goes home!!! I couldn't believe she think it's ok that she doesn't have to mention to me at all, and let me receive the puppy with surprise!! How could a show breeder told me that a dog with hernia can still be show and breed. A hernia is a hernia, even though a umbilical hernia might not coming from genetic, but it's still a defect of the dog!!
She said "... he has tight knees, good bite, straight top line, so that makes him a breeding quality male..." Right, but this male has a floppy ears, and the position of the ear is incorrect, the ears set is just like a Maltese, and the nose is like a Silky. If a yorkie doesn't have correct standard, even he has good knees, bite, and top line, I wouldn't use him for breeding!!
Come on~~ Are we suppose to bred to improve the quality of the breed?? Why this "show breeder" sounds so much like a backyard breeder!!!???
Please, I would like to have some experience and reputable show breeder tell me if it's true that a dog with umbilical hernia can still be consider a breeding quality?? I just can't believe it...
P.S. I am going to post pictures of this puppy later tonight, so everybody can see how big this hernia is!! |
