Just because someone belongs to the YTCA or has AKC registered dogs, does not mean they are good breeders or good people. Nor does being a show breeder mean that you stand behind your dogs or breed healthy dogs.
To the OP. Do your homework on the breeder, beyond looking at their credentials. |
Wow a
false sense of security is your idea of at least a "neutral" tone to the pre-eminent registry in the USA, and a neutral tone to the recognized National Club for the YOrkshire Terrier.
You are taking pot shots... I stand behind what I said before.
Do you actually think any of your posting on this thread and others is going to advance the Parti cause with the YTCA? Where is your sense of discipline, of dispassionatly advancing your cause?
And just because someone belongs to the YTCA and is a show breeder etc etc, does NOT mean they are a Bad breeder either. But it does mean something Jeannie. It means they have passed a certain level of scrutiny, which continues for the life of their membership. It means, that breeders have sweated have workeD researched have donated time and money for their passion, their commitment to this wondrous breed.
And as much as you truly seem to want to Put Down show breeders for alleged shortcomings, real or just perceived, the fact remains, these people do get out there, they lose, they find out from judging, from assessment of their peers, that mayhap this puppy is not so good as they thought. And there is heartbreak. Not to mention of course a financial loss.
How many times Jeannie have you stood in the ring, when judge by judge has passed over you and your dog? How many times have you travelled through snow, through rain, after countless hours of training, of caring for the show coat, to "blow" it in the ring. You were too nervous, your dog was a little "off" that wkend.
If you want to advance your cause with the YTCA I suggest you strategize just how you will accomplish those goals. For certain is not by putting down, either directly or indirectly the parent club, and the National Registry.
