I love that she references genetics in her e-mail and that she believes it's only in-breeding that's causing all of the health problems with regards to the "teacup yorkie". That just screams sheer ignorance.
I would like to e-mail her back and say that genetics has nothing to do with your practices. What the truth is you want an accessory, not a pet. Whenever you are trying to "genetically" alter a standard, it literally becomes a Franken-puppy monster, with defects her little brain I'm sure cannot comprehend.
I also love on her website that she prides herself in never having any puppies with liver stunts and yet goes on to say that she refuses to perfom the test on her dogs. I wonder if she should include in that paragraph how common it is for the smaller bread Yorkie to have a liver stunt.
When people start trying to geneticaly alter a breed, and then have the balls to attempt to defend their practice with the pseudo intelligence, it makes me want to hurl. |
