Keeping a toy dog like a Yorkie under a trailer is not adequate. They are not dogs that are meant to be raised outside. They are house dogs that by their very nature need human companionship and nurturing. They can overheat very quickly in the summer heat and freeze easily in the winter extremes. Terms like "breeding stock" make me cringe. Tells a LOT about a person's feelings and attitude toward their dogs. A breeder does not need to depersonalize her Yorkies! A scrupulous breeder would never do that. If a person wants breeding stock, they should switch to livestock not pets! |
Debra, THANK YOU FOR THIS. You hit the nail right on the head....
