Yup...but here's the difference...pet breeders and show breeders are two different set of breeders and no I don't mean unethical but they vs. them will always see this differently until a pet breeder actually gets involved in the show world even if they never set foot in the ring or have a dog in the ring and walk a mile in our shoes. I can actually say I started out as a pet breeder and one of those years ago that oh I want a puppy out of my sweet darling little girl....now that I feel in love with the yorkie breed and the show world boy have I learned alot...but once it gets to the point I can't be involved in the show world whether it be in the ring or just being involved I'll be out of breeding...I believe it goes hand in hand.
