I agree with all. Breeding should not be done just to get money or to please others. MY family has been breeding yorkies for 3 years. My grandmother has 1 stud and 1 female. Her stud is DNA registered and has champion lines, the female looks perfect and has champion lines as well. I have purchased one of their females and have since after long searching found a stud for her. THere are few breeders in my area, and not to many that you can trust. In the past year 2 breeders who were supposed to be high quality got shut down. I have worked in a Vet office for 3 years and have dealt with the breeders and the pure breed dogs. It can be a wonderful experience. There are plenty of breeders out there that are nice but there are also those who just want to make a buck. There are even those who will only sell the imperfect ones, and they do know which ones are perfect. The demand is more for a pet than show in my area so the pricing is reasonable. I am looking forward to being able to provide someone the joy I have gotten, and I feel confident in my dogs genetic line that her pups will be beautiful. I say good luck to the established breeders, and to those who want to breed research as much as possible and if yor dog is AKC quality good luck breeding them. |
