Some of the history needs to be rewritten...just like a lot of our history books that are not telling the truth. Some of her history that is in her book has been totally ignored.
Wow, so a show breeder that sells her dogs for $10,000 is only breeding for profit?
You cannot generalize these statements..there are good Parti/Biewer/Yorkie breeders and there are poor Parti/Biewer/Yorkie breeders. Many are into making a profit and many want to write off their motorhome through their breeding programs to go to dog shows. Nothing is black & white. Some do care and work hard for their dogs. |
Some may care, but since they don't have the cost of shows, why the big markup? Just because they can?
They are breeding a fault and marketing is as an asset. I see this as unethical. Also, so many sell with full breeding rights, as if every parti should be breed, and every pet owner should be a breeder. If any other breeder did this wouldn't you be upset? Organizations such as the HSUS and ASPCA both advocate adoption first, but say if that isn't possible we should only support breeders who are breeding to their breed's standard.
