You will find lots of sympathy here for people who have gotten puppies from back yard breeders and puppy mills. Most people just don't know any better at first. It is the people who come here that want to start breeding their pet quality dogs that you will not find much sympathy for. There are many people who do not care to know the facts about the dangers of back yard breeding. They think it will be "fun" and they will make some money. A pet quality dog should not be bred to begin with. It has faults that will only get worse in the next generation. These faults can be both external and also health faults and weaknesses that no uninformed person could be aware of.
There are millions of dogs being killed in this country every year. Why produce more pets or dogs that have illnesses that will cause heartbreak for some unsuspecting buyer looking for a pet? It is irresponsible.
There are many people on YT that know a lot about dogs and Yorkies in particular but there are those who would rather not take advantage of their years of experience and want to continue blindly repeating the same mistakes of those who have done the same things in the past. I can understand why people get upset with that type of thinking. |
