You seem to have some disdain for what goes on here in Yorkie Talk, and yet some suggestions to improve the functioning of Yorkie talk. I find that refreshing.

First your vet should have (but of course vets are not breed specific, and most vets aren't repro vets) but let's put that aside for the moment, of course let's not put aside that most breed fanciers, and potential breeders know those two basic facts.

A vet can evaluate basic structure, but unless they are breed specific judges/long term breeders of Yorkies can not even begin to tell you if this dog is worthy of being bred.

Let's look at another perhaps the first basic requirement to insure this dog is healthy enough to be bred. Did he do BATs, CERF, and OFA before he deigned to evaluate your dog. Did this vet even mention it should be done?


You may sneer at these tests but have you looked at the 2007 Health survey of Yorkies, do you know the incidence of the crippling conditions in this breed? does your vet?

We can post all the lists you might think worthy, but unless people read them, it is so much fodder in the wind.

And NO I Don't think Yorkie Talk should post warnings et al. I believe there are many threads for sharing our love and joy of this breed that are best served within a chat/response forum.

I think as smart in at least one way I suspect you are, you had an agenda, mayhap that agenda has been fullfilled. IDK

We will always help someone in need, despite what we think about motives, and even their care of their Yorkies. For at the end of the day we are here to protect our beloved breed no matter whose hands they may find themself in.
