This is where the YTCA must hold strong, I hope they don't ever over shorten the nose or change in other ways, until we know what type of health impact it will have. |
I absolutely agree! I have actually seen very few health problems in Yorks that can be attributed to their look - in fact none come to mind, and most good Yorkie breeders I meet clearly care about the breed! It's to be commended!
As for declawing - I've never heard of a dog being declawed - I hope that was a misunderstanding! My 19 y/o Ragdoll is declawed on front - and she bites. My nearly blind Sphynx has no claws, they where removed from all 4 feet - makes me furious, someone spent the money to mutilate her, but never took care of her eye problems or health, absolutely disturbs me! Poor Athena doesn't even walk like a normal cat
