Yorkies can be high strung and often are looking for something to get excited about, but it's the owner's responsibility to exert enough control over and to create a situation so things don't get out of hand. Any serious behavior issues should give any breeder pause. Both their dogs and the situation they've created need to be looked at to determine if it's the dog or them. I think that in this situation, it's both.
Motherhen, there's been a lot of good info here along with the criticism. I think you know that your situation got out of hand. No one can 'tell' anyone else what to do, but to add more dogs to the mix until you have a better handle on breeding and how to manage your dogs would be foolish. I don't doubt that you care about your dogs, but you must also properly care for them as well. When breeding lives literally are at stake with the decisions you make. |
Very nicely put. In other words you are the Alpha and your dogs know it.
