You've made statements about talking to reproduction specialists and that they said it's okay to breed a tiny and that the risk isn't any different from breeding a bigger dog. Then you said that you would never breed your dogs no matter how big they get and then you go back and want people to give you proof that breeding tinies is riskier than breeding a larger dog and then the circle starts all over again.
I know that you've said you think it's a risk with any dog but then when someone comes here and tries to sell a pup when the mom was 3 lbs and dad was 8 pounds (too bad the thread was completely deleted), you go and defend the breeder. You've defended a few people here that have bred tinies. You've defended the "guilty" and wonder why people misinterpret what you say.  |
You know very well that
that was a typo and it was corrected by the breeder.
The male was 3 lbs and the female was 8 lbs!
I too am disappointed that the thread was deleted as that was a perfect example of a few members taking a breeder's adoption thread and turning it totally off topic into a discussion about the rightness or wrongness of breeding tinies. It was not fair in my opinion. Some even had the gall to call him a liar when he posted the correction!!!
And, even though I don't breed and probably never will, I do not think there is anything wrong with researching breeding issues since I am a breed fancier and will probably adopt more yorkies in my life time. I want to know whether or not it is cruel, bad or harmful in some way to breed 3 lbers or 4 lbers or 5 lbers for that matter, and whether artificial insemination is better, whether a bottle fed pup from a c-section has as strong an immune system as a puppy who was nursed, etc. To criticize me for searching out this information and sharing it here makes no sense unless no one else comes here to learn about yorkies. I thought that is what this forum is for. If I buy another yorkie, I want to know that it had the very best start in life.
And I think most members here respect my opinions even if they do not agree with them, and they do not think that I am overly forceful with my opinions.
I found it strange when I discovered canine theriogenologists through my research in this area, that none of the breeders on here had ever even mentioned such a specialist. If I were breeding I would be like Yorkierini and use a reproductive specialist. Yorkies are especially difficult dogs to breed and general vets do not know much about breeding.
Now,
if someone has a fact wrong, I will politely correct it, as I did when PlatinumYorkies said the breed standard says yorkies should be between 4 and 7 lbs when what it actually says is that they should be under 7 lbs. I did it politely and non offensively and I did not call her ignorant as she claims. I am not like that and most of the members here recognize that.
