You like breeding YorkiePoms because they sell. Period. It seems like you are only concerned with profit.
Have you considered that people looking for a pet could go other avenues? There are mixed breeds (and purebreds too) overcrowding every shelter and rescue in the U.S. Millions and millions are euthanized every year. I know that my local rescue has at least 4 Yorkie mixes right now that are looking for homes. That isn't even considering all of the breed-specific rescues around. You are catering to the demand for hybrid "designer" dogs with cutesy little names that sell for a high price. That is my personal issue with purposeful, profit-seeking cross-breeding.
You have stated that your purpose is breeding pets. Plenty of reputable breeders breed pet-quality Yorkies. They go to pet homes (and hopefully on a spay/neuter contract). Not every reputable breeder charges outrageous prices for their Yorkies. In fact, I'm sure there are reputable AKC breeders out there whose prices are comparable to yours. |
yes there are millions of dogs in sheltes..mainly mutts heniz57
yes there are yorkies and i sympathize with them...but the marjority are not desired..most people want the puppy, they want to know where they came from, they dont want the baggage, the already learned bad habits and there are wonderful people out there that do and take them in and care for them and retrain them and give them the best..but thats not everyones cup o tea
i enjoy it i think its amazing..yes i get nervous and scared for them but i am there for every minute and i am watchful with the er vet on stand by
