I didn't ask anyone what they paid for their mix, that's their business. What I said I wouldn't pay a penny......plenty of unwanted dogs in shelters that need homes.
Oh by the way I do have a mix, a poodle/maltese mix, a rescue. Sorry, I won't apologize for my beliefs. I'm pretty strong about them, since I've volunteered in shelters |
Actually I have read a little about you online regarding Yorkies in show and breeding not that that implies "knowing someone" but I was shocked such a strong statement was made by you,considering what I have heard from you and about you-devaluing an animal completely-really? Anyways you have a mix I SAFELY assume you love and yet you say I wouldn't pay a penny for one...that's a strong statement, my statement was very toned down...yes indiscriminately breeding that's a problem (as I'm sure you know as a breeder-right?) that plagues all breeding genres including purebred, unfortunately it is more prevalent in hybrids, and designer breeding...that's key word but as I said before in my first "strong" statement, which I could understand the devaluing of hybrids, muts, designers considering the market mentality (sales pitched, prices and nonsense) and general breeding practices-but to say not a penny c'mon-that was my issue with your statement-not your beliefs on hybrids-even though I have my own very strong beliefs-I love them, Schnorkies are my favorite breed (they are a hybrid mix of my two favorite standard breeds)...
however I was toning down my strong statement and being respectful of your stance {as breeder and show(wo)man of Yorkies, you love them so much you offer free grooming just to continue and ensure a relationship with all the dogs you breed-showing you don't indiscriminately breed, you are well known as a premier Yorkie breeder etc(I'm sure you know your own resume)-even though I know nothing about you}-
hence I said, "I understand some people obvious for good reason have their views about purebreds and towards mixes" Nevertheless and especially considering you have volunteer in rescues etc-you know the rule of why a minimum adoption fee is charged, a re-homing fee... here's 'Alvin the Chipmunk' my son's three legged Russian Dwarf Hamster-paid 1,000 pennies for him...okay said what I have to say, still shocked at the statement but this is off topic for this thread-not sure this thread even has any topic (well point) though to be honest!
