I do not understand why people breed dogs just "because they are so cute". Yes, all puppies are cute, but that gives no excuse to breed them right and left when no breed standards are being met. If you would like a pet Yorkie, visit rescues and humane societies. Yes, I did get Tucker from a byb, and I love him to death but regret supporting his breeder's operation. I do not understand when people are against the idea of rescuing an older dog (sometimes just a year old) because they want it as a puppy. Dog are only puppies for so long. They do grow up, and if you really love them the age won't make a difference. It is the greatest feeling giving a helpless animal a second chance. This is why I think the only breeders (of any breed of dog) should breed to better the exact standard. There are too many dogs in the world as it is, I don't think breeding just because a pet Yorkie you have is just so cute is really an excuse for adding to the problem. |
