 breeders
I call myself a Yorkie Fanicer, who breeds/shows. The word fanicer can mean connoissour, which means some degree of expertise in the arts etc..Breeding, is an art. IMO.
Commerical breeders and Puppy mill can be interchangable. Mass production of pups is a mill..commerical breeders mass produce. Most puppymillers have a commerical license or they can not sell to brokers who place the pups in pet shops. There are dirty commerical breeders and clean puppy mills.
The term most show breeders use for non-show breeders is a backyard or pet breeder..I do not agree.
If you do not breed for a living or too show, then you breed for pure enjoyment and it is your hobby.
I like the term Hobby breeder and use it for those who do not show, but are very reputable and ethcial. It is a good term to me.
I have changed my title..I am a Yorkie fancier, who breeds and shows as a pleasurable hobby. LOL |
