Most buyers who buy from the worst breeders most of the time are uneducated about bybs and/or puppymills. (general statement, don't anyone twist my words to look like I said Tammy was the worst breeder) I think they are just that uneducated, not unethical. However, since you asked, you want to know what me or others think of your buyers? I think that is a loaded question bc of the fact you breed partis (biewers too? I'm not sure, but your avatar says parti time, so obviously you breed partis.) Are you trying to get the parti discussion out again? Questioning the buyers who want partis or off standard colors? I don't know what you charge, but I see partis and off colors go for much more than yorkies within standard. People like to have something "rare" and don't care if it's not within standard or not. this makes me believe they are willing to pay more. Now a breeder who breeds off colors I'm sure knows this too, will they still sell below what the market will bear bc they think they are a reputable breeder as to try to not make money off their hobby?
Another question, I guess this can be to all breeders who breed not standard colors? why do you breed? I think it's fair to say that we will not see the AKC change their stance on the off colors in our lifetime, so why do it? For the future of the yorkie breed? perhaps sometime in the future they may or may not include the off colors? Make me understand, i am from the standpoint of someone who works with rescue, so make me understand why you breed. |
I bred Livi because I adore the parti color...I can only assume would be the same reason that Jencar, Wyliesmom and Sherrinkassie purchased from me. Did you rescue your Yorkies that you currently own? I think this is a very noble cause.
My question had nothing to do with starting a parti discussion.
