Big deal.
I nor any other member of our YTCA would ever support or protect an irresponsible breeder...EVER! That is a completely inaccurate statement. Our members homes are inspected by our club president prior to any recommendation to a referral program as a breeder. We educate the public about local Pet brokers and/or puppy mills. Many locally have been shut down and prosecuted for their actions. Is it a perfect system...no. But what is the alternative? Free all domesticated dogs and let them fend for themselves. Seriously, give an alternative. Euthanize them all? Let dogs become extinct? Give a serious alternative. To say that ethical breeders are responsible for the acts of the bad breeders is like saying you are responsible for the criminal that robbed the bank down the street. What would PETA have us all do???
We all know the answer to that..........  |
I will add every Yorkie Regional Club and The YTCA operate their own rescues. Most reputable breeder by breeding responsibly, interviewing extensively are doing their part in reducing the dogs that end up in kill shelters. Reputable breeders are out there working on closing down puppy mills everyday.
