Some are "purest" and focused on what a standard Yorkie is -- which is fine, I just don't like people putting down a person who wants a HEALTHY dog that is different. Or falls in love with a yorkie that is different. They are all wonderful dogs!!
GEE if we stayed pure on the yorkie breed.. it would still be like the ORGINIAL YORKIE that was breed to hunt rats.. and surly not 3 to 7 lbs!!! So good honest healthy change is not a bad thing... if done right. |
That's my issue, people like to toss around generalizations degrading others who work very hard breeding healthy lines of nonYTCA dogs. Often having to prove their dogs so much more than the standard breeders do, or at least defend them so much more often.
It's amazing how people can be friends with some of the Parti, golden, and other breeders on here, ask for their advice about Yorkie care and then bash them with generalizations saying they are unethical or un-reputable or the line they work so hard on preserving shouldn't be bred at all.
When they talk about bad standard Yorkie breeders they give the reasoning like: they breed dogs too small, too young, too much, they don't do health screening, genetic testing, etc but these same people generalize for nonstandard breeders of Yorkies...'they're all bad'...it's sad people are so bias.
Wonder where the Yorkie breeders who breed all colors of Yorkies fit in...? (rhetorical)
