Why is there such discrimination on the part of SOME breeders against companion yorkies who are sound and healthy and of good temperament? This is what MOST yorkies are! This is what MOST people own.
We want pets who can be a part of the family, be obedience trained, maybe even agility trained, or flyball trained and who can enjoy their lives happy and free. This is the average yorkie owner...it is not someone who keeps their dog in a crate for most of its life and never takes it to the dog park and ships it all over the country to handlers, for shows or to be bred and restricts its play time for fear of ruining the beautiful coat.
The argument that you should not breed unless it is to "improve the breed" and in order to improve the breed you have to follow the YTCA standard as currently written, is a false one, and has been proven over the last 200 years to be a myth. It doesn't happen. The breed is not improved by this standard...some even argue that it is harmed by this practice.
To encourage the admin here to "prohibit" posts in opposition to these viewpoints is simply close minded and irresponsible. We may as well burn all the books in the libraries that disagree with you, or remove any articles for the internet that conflict with you point of view. I am sorry if you don't like that they exist but they do. You have to have confidence and faith in what you are doing and then what others post will not affect you so much. JMHO. |
You know what my views are on this we've taken up on PM. I am not willing to go another round with you on this. I thought we agreed to disagree. My opinions and concerns when right over your head. If I don't make sense to you then so be it. I know what my concerns are I see and hear of it everyday. So I am not going to argue with you my point because you refuse to hear me, not agree just hear me out. Maybe you don't realize it Kim but you are a tad too aggressive in pushing your beliefs on others. You can state your opinion but to call me irresponsible is ridiculous!! Getting 1 Yorkie that I may be able to show out of the 20 pups I've produced is reality. If you would only listen you'd get more out of the conversation.
