Every breeder can't have a Champion dog and sire all Champion Pups. But they can have healthy ones that will live along time. And if you happen to have one with problems a reputable breeder will help with bills or exchange pups. Because they are confident that they are breeding healthy pups. But stuff happens. |
Mike you do contribute a whole lot to this board. What you do say about reputable breeders is true.
But I do always encourage folks who are paying a premium for a purebred dog, not to settle for much less than a very well bred and healthy Yorkie. That means that their dogs once full grown, should look like a Yorkie, act like a Yorkie, and just be the best of what a Yorkie is, in terms of temperament, health, and structure. The coat might be a bit "off", or the weight, or the coloration, but hey there is no mistaking a well bred Yorkie, be it show or pet.
