The majority YT members are pet owners, we all see with our own eyes that breed quality varies. BOTTOMLINE a well bred quality yorkie will always have its tail docked and dewclaws removed period, until the standard changes! Any pet quality male or female in most responsible breeders program will go out with a spay and nueter contract and an adoptee will NOT receive the AKC papers until there is proof that it's done. |
I respectfully disagree and every one of my posts was addressing new issues that were raised as the thread moved forward. There is no limit that I am aware of of the number of times one can post. The issue of spay/neuter came up as an analogous argument to the one about tail docking being unnecessary and became a legitimate subject of discussion in that context.
I have yorkies under 5 lbs and two of their breeders were smart enough and concerned enough about the health and well being of my tiny babies to advise against spaying them. They of course knew that I would never consider breeding them and that I am a responsible yorkie owner who makes sure that the dogs are supervised and never at risk for an unwanted mating. Yorkies are at great risk when they are put under anesthesia. I will not take that risk with my girls unless a situation arises which outweighs the risk of the surgery.
There are reputable breeders who do not insist upon neutering and spaying. Those that do are usually only concerned that their line not be diluted or they want to limit the competition in breeding. It is not usually for the well being of the animal.
