When I decided to go to college at the age of 34, I went to the administration desk and told them I wanted to go to college. The lady asked me what questions I had. I told her that I didn't even know what questions to ask.
I needed someone to go through it from the very first step. They did not tell me that if Iwas that ignorant that I had no business even thinking about college. They sat down with me and explained every thing. Throughout the meeting, questions came to mind. But when I walked through those doors, I honestly did know even know where to begin.
Therefore: A good response would have been that it is sometimes OK to breed one that is slightly larger but you would have to know more about the dog's history to determine that. And then explaining where she needed to start, and what questions needed to be answered.
Interrogating a person or immediatly telling them that they should not be breeding is not going to get a response of "Oh, OK, I won't breed".
If they want to breed, they are going to breed. Wouldn't it be better that they get good information, from knowledgable breeders, rather than leaving them to get it from just anyone
Making derrogatory comments about non show beeders is only going start an argument and send the OP running for their life. |
JeanieK.....the OP isn't completely new to breeding, as you may have been to college.
This was my first post to the OP, I may have told her not to breed but I did also tell her exactly what you suggested...that some will breed a yorkie over 7lbs, it depends upon the bitch and what she is likely to produce.
Also.....I never mentioned show breeders or non show breeders in this thread. I don't know if this part of your post was referring to me or not, but I've remained neutral on this thread in regards to show breeders/non show breeders, it wasn't really relevant to the question.
