 pets
Is there anything wrong in breeding for pets? No, of course not, but do you know how you get pets?
You take two Yorkies that are excellent representations of the standard and breed them together. Most champions do not produce champions all the time.. they produce quality pets..and they produce a few show pups like themselves.
In a litter of 4, you might get one really nice show pup, one really nice breed quality and two pets! Any breeder who is putting everything in the ring isn't very discriminating..boy, I am being a BITCH today..that's oaky I love my bitches!
A male will produce himself, he will produce less then his quality, but for the most part he does not produce better then himself on a consistant basis..so that would mean we are not improving when we use a pet quality male for stud. These are just my observations and opinions, take them for what they are worth. LOL |
