This is what I always thought too even though I never bred. I was shocked to pay almost $3000 for a dog only to discover, after I got him home, that he was ALREADY neutered at 12 weeks. I love dogs and paid a lot for my boy, I am smart and I felt like if I wanted to use him as a stud I paid for that right, but I have come to understand (although maybe not entirely agree with) the good breeders who have worked hard to establish good lines w/o defects and they don't want someone coming in just throwing any two dogs together w/o really studying the consequences and then those puppie's pedigrees are going to have that breeder's line in them and someone who "matters" in the show world may see a substandard yorkie and think the "line" is no good because it produced that.
Does that make sense.
Great question....
