Are there not already enough yorkies out there of good quality stock to ensure the breed continues? I'm just beginning to think byb's, puppymills and hobby breeders are not the only breeders that need to rethink the entire puppy breeding business. Maybe, just maybe, there are too many show breeders also? |
Do the math.....you're not breeding 6 litters in one year.....it's usually 1 or 2 litters a year....so, it's maybe over the course of 4 of 5 years.
Are over breeding, no, we are very seclective in what we would in the ring or breeding quality.....not being kennel blind is the key.
I haven't bred or had a litter this year and before that it was two years.
