on a similar note, i wonder, those who are anti-designer mixes, do you see the same negative impact on yorkies and other dogs with a purebred yorkie of limited registration parents of non-championlines?

If you're talking about more yorkies ending up in shelters due to not having papers... no, I don't believe that has an impact. I believe those, pet quality puppies should be for the people who are looking for a companion. They do end up in shelters, but for now they get taken pretty quickly.
At one point I believed that people should only breed if they have papers. But now I see that would be wrong because that won't stop backyard breeders or puppymills. The states have to have stricter laws.
I went to the mall and there was a petshop so I went in because I wanted to ask them some questions. We live in California and I noticed every paper posted over each dog said they were from Missouri or Iowa. I asked the lady out the counter how come because I was curious. She then told me that it was basically because they could not find any good California breeders of these dogs. She said that those states have good state laws on breeders.
Wow, boy was she surprised at my answer. I told her that those 2 states huge on puppymills. And I know for a fact that they ship them in they can make a bigger profit because they're so much cheaper. And I told her that California state laws are MUCH stricter. |
