She was lamenting those teeth because she really has that "look at me" personality. I was agreeing with her and she reminded me that "those teeth" were the reason I had her. Personally I' believe that the way to go is to get a pet quality pup from a good show breeder. The things that keep them from showing aren't generally even noticable by "normal" people. I wanted a Yorkie that looks like the standard and I believe that's what I got. Most show breeders aren't going to sell you a potential show puppy with full registration unless they know you really well. I have my boy now that my breeder trusted me with as a potential show puppy. As much as she trusts me, he is co-owned by her unless or until we decide he's not going to show and have him neutered. I respect her for caring so much about her lines. I also have no desire to get into breeding. The trust goes both ways. |
Excellent post, and I agree Beamer's Mom, Sadie is so beautiful and you are so right, if it hadn't been for those teeth, she'd probably have been bred instead of being a spoiled princess!
