I just read this and had to elaborate. I agree with you 100% ! I also imported to get a "type" and a "look" that I fell in love with. Although she is not with me anymore and is waiting for me at the Rainbow bridge, I do have 4 of her children that I plan to carry on her type in my lines. I had hoped to produce my own show-potential from her, I did get a nice one her first breeding, but didn't grow big enough to show in my opinion. I've got 3 babys now from her and am just basically keeping my fingers crossed. (one is rather small
) but 2 are keeping my hopes up. If they do not turn out to be what I'm hoping for, I WILL import again and keep trying. I have NOTHING against the show breeders in the US, but I do have my own likes/dislikes. Not that I am saying that anyone's yorkies are not beautiful, I have a few of what I refer to as the "english type" yorkie, but I have aquired my own taste for something else. I have never shown in a pointed akc show. I have attended classes and have "experimented" at an akc fun match. Someday, you may see me out there...but for now, I'm still working on establishing my program to get what I want. The rest will all fall into place in the future if it's what God wants me to do. As far as docking the tails, I wish it wasn't done. My dog that was imported was docked, but the tail was left much longer than most of the breeders in the US do their tail lengths. I liked it much better and have since started leaving my pups tails a bit longer than I normally would, yet still being docked. 3 different people in the past have told me (in a very nice way) they did not care for my "type" of yorkie. Maybe I don't care for their's either, but I'd never tell them that. My reason is because we all like what we like and that's what makes us individuals. I do not have to like what you have and you do not have to like what I have, but I respect anyone who has a passion for dogs no matter what. Thanks for letting me vent; it felt good
