WOW! you guys really jump on someone when you do not know all the facts. 1- yes we had both dogs checked, both are dual registered and mine has a 4 generation pedigree including 3 AKC members in his line. 2- the area we live in does not have any good breeders, I traveled 6 hours to a registered breeder for my dog and the female is from a breeder in Germany 3- we are not breeding just to breed she runs a kennel and is trying to start a yorkie line in this area since there are none 4- I posted my question out of concern for both animals, if I wasn't concerned I would have held the female down and forced the breeding 5- I know that he is larger than the standard but he is exceptionally healthy other than his weight he meets every standard for AKC and he has a wonderful personality especially with kids. I would rather have a healthy happy dog who is part of a family than a "perfect" dogs who is unhealthy, unhappy and lives in a kennel because it doesn't respond well to people. I expected responses like yes he is probably too big or something similar- I was not prepared to be chastized and lectured for trying to do the right thing. |
