 question
What I am saying is...breed the fault you can accept. I can accept a color or texture fault over a structure fault or health fault. Yes, two silk parents can produce a cotton pup, because most likely one of the grandparents is cotton...but when you have silk grandparents also, then you are going to rarely see cotton..you may get a silk that is not a good a textured silk as ideal, but those cotton, wooly coats will be gone.
If you have silk grandparents and parents..then you take a silk pup from these dogs and breed it to cotton aren't we are taking a step backways? I would take a cotton bitch and breed it to a silk male. I would not breed a silk bitch to a cotton male. Just when a breeder is on the verge of stepping through a doorway of improvement, they step back.
RED LEG is very different to me...
If you breed a "red legged" Yorkie you may not see any in that litter or you may see one..but the gene remains..each time you breed from those pups you have no clue when it will pop up again. Mother Nature shoves so many unexpected things at us, I perfer not to give her any help in the that way.LOL
I would not hestiate to breed a Yorkie who is too light or too dark..I would not breed one with a grow that will not grow..now you have introduced two major faults..no coat and wrong color.
People expect a long coat..it may not be correct in color, but the coat is a major point in being drawn to a Yorkie IMO..JMO LOL Only my opinion LOL |
