The breeder we are talking about here did it all right as far as I'm concerned. She was at the top of her game and well respected by 99% of of her peers. Always ready to help new people in the breed and helped me learn grooming at the shows when I first met her. She later came out with a grooming video that the Yorkshire Terrier Club of America ended up selling and it sold like hot cakes. She was a member and followed the rules of ethics or certainly would not have been elected an officer in the club so many times.
This little male sired 99 champions and lived a very long healthy life so she knew what she was doing and you could pick out her line anywhere you were without really knowing it was her's. There was some jealousy but not much, however it only takes one person to start gossip and when it is about such a hot topic as LS it would travel fast. Since her dogs were in so many lines I also can understand how people might come to that conclusion, yet to do so many things right and have it end this way would be sad.
The breeder is now deceased. |
