We have a forum full of members who adore Yorkies, we talk about them all day. If breeders toss out the standard, before long we will be talking about an animal that slightly resembles a Yorkie, acts somewhat like one and where will be alot of posts about "what happened to those REAL Yorkies they used to breed???"
Would you buy a car from a manufacturer that told the employees to just wing it...? You might think that is not important in a dog..BUT to me it is vital that I follow the standard..how else can I produce these darlings we all love so much? |
NICE analogy ! I liked the car statement and you are so right
I do fear there are way too many people out there just winging it ....and we need to encourage breeders such as yourself Pat. If there were more out there like you and many of the members here who breed to Standard - we sure wouldn't be seeing so many health issues and upset new yorkie parents.
There is nothing worse then reading a post from someone who bought from a breeder who just did NOT do their research and thought they could just produce yorkies (with money as their motivation) and seeing the devestating health issues that some of these yorkies have.
