Shouldn't every yorkie breeder have the tail docked since it's the typical yorkie look?
i'll be on my way in a few minutes so i'll now when i get there. |
What you need to be aware of is that MANY breeders, even small time one that some people on here call "backyard breeders" give their own puppy shots and remove dew claws and dock tails. My husband does. What you also need to know is that not every small breeder is a backyeard breeder. Some only have one or two females that they breed and take care of very carefully. does this make them any less a breeder than someone that has a huge breeding program. NO it does not and many wonderful babies have come from breeders like this. In fact, I would perfer to get my baby from a small breeder than one that has such a huge breeding program. Many of these people are very kind, very knowledgable and take excellant care of their dogs. Of course, as in anything, there are a few bad ones but that is also true in the larger breeding programs. i would be very leery of someone that has a large amount of dogs that they breed. This has been discussed all the time and you never hear anyone admit that they bred for money but almost ten out of ten will say, it's to improve the dogs. But, this ain't my first rodeo and I don't believe that for a minute but it might be true in some cases here people are trying to get show dogs. Please don't write your "backyard" breeder off for the reason you stated about not going to the vet.
