Gemy is known as a very respected breeder here on YT. I would take seriously what she says.
If you purchased your AKC dog as a pet then it is not breeding stock. Pets carry unfavorable traits that a good breeder would not want to pass on. The more pet quality animals that are bred the further away the pups get from what the description of the breed standard is. There are already way too many pet quality Yorkies out there that are producing genetically damaged puppies as well as traits that are considered defects to the breed.
AKC is a registry and has nothing to do with the quality of your dog. Pet quality Yorkies make wonderful pets but should never be bred.
Male dogs are much happier neutered and well loved by their owners. |
