Ask how many of these show breeders cut the vocal cords on their dogs because their barking drives them nuts. How many of these dogs just live in cages and are not part of the family. I could go on and on about some show breeders (I am not just talking about Yorkies) but I am sure you understand what I am saying.
I do believe there are wonderful breeders who do love their dogs but I believe the purebred dog world is a place that is not always kind to dogs especially in the breeding process. |
And they say that we, non-show, hobby breeders ared unethical.
