The sire was of awesome breeding so we wernt sure what went wrong. She pulled up her papers and gave me the last name of hurliman. I started researching and BOY WHERE WE SHOCKED! We are all just heart sick to think tis is where our little missy came from. and even more sick that we bred her not knowing this. I wanted you all to know that Mr. Dwayne Hurliman is still selling yorkies, I found his new website and I wanted to share it with anyone interested. Please contact me anytime. This is his new site he was not shut down just changed his name! Spectacular Yorkies |
One of the signs of a bad breeder is someone who sells on open registration. This means they do not care where their dogs wind up or who breeds for them. When man steps in and starts breeding animals, he takes nature out of the process, and man must continue to step in and breed intelligently. Breeding intelligently is not an intuitive thing, it takes years of study to learn how to do this, but most people don't care, they think any offspring is acceptable, as long as it's pureblood, and in truth purebred means very little, it just means that they come from a line of dogs related to each other. However, the breeders who produced the lines could have done everything wrong! It's hard for the newbie to get started and do it right, but someone who really wants to breed for the right reasons, will find someone who's willing to teach them about breeding. By the way, just because the sire was from an awesome breeding program, it doesn't mean he wasn't the one who passed this on, each dog may have had one recessive gene, that's why it's so important to know the lines.
