I have one simple concern about the breeding tinies. When there is a problem why are the breeders who breed 5 pounds and larger females the ones who are contacted.
If there is such a population of breeders here on YT breeding little ones- you need to step up to the plate. Take the phone calls in the middle of the night- get up here with your stats and information about your breeding program. Give your wealth of information to those who are breeding the little females. How many posts do we have a week at least three to four that deal with a pregnant tiny female.
If I posted on a thread that I was breeding a 15 pound female with my 20 pound male-And that I needed help - problems with the pregnacy I would get just as many comments as the posts who are about breeding a smaller yorkie.
I would be told over and over again about the standard and the dogs were too large.
Many of us who state do not breed the tines did this one time in the past or know people who did with terrible results.
You have every right to say we are breeding to big of females if you choose.
No one has ever been stopped from stating their thoughts. That is the fun of debate and discussion.
We have dogs on here that IMHO should never have been bred when I look at the pictures that are posted. Do I PM anyone NO. Do I make a comment that your dog is not breeding quality NO. If you ask me to look at your dog on a thread I may give you my thoughts. Many times I say nothing out of consideration for your feelings.
This all about free choice. I am not going to knock on your door because you breed small dogs. I am not going to say you are a bad breeder or puppymill because you do. It is your choce. I do not have to agree. We all have different bloodlines- we all seem to look for a different style of Yorkie.
We all love our dogs that is the common thread that binds us all together. Do I know it all- no way. I run into new things all the time that I have never heard of or have had happen to me. You just deal with them and go on with your life. |
