I agree that there are some people out there just breeding just any ol dogs together, and not making sure that they can find homes for the puppys, and that is disturbing when that is the case...but to be fair, every pure bread breed out there started from a cross of something or other. But I would never do this without going my homework first. and to lessen the chance that any of my puppys end up in a shelter, I tell everyone that takes one of my puppys that I offer a lifetime placement, If for any reason they cannot keep their puppy that I will take it back and make sure it finds another good home.. So yes there are lots of people doing the wrong thing when it comes to breeding, but its not fair to condemn everyone. |
This is how the Yorkie got its start. But yeah, one does need to be careful intermixing breeds and its great you're committed to their care. It's the intermixing breeders that don't care about their puppies after they've sold them that gets people so upset I think. About what size at adulthood do the yorkiechon generally get? ~KC
