If the purpose of breeding a yorkie is to improve the breed and strive for the "perfect standard" then yes, a 9 lb yorkie with floppy ears should not have been bred. but i think to say that a puppy of such breeding is "from bad breeding" is a bit extreme and harsh. and for a friend to tell you that after you've already purchased a puppy that you're happy with... well... it's kinda insensitive on your friend's part. imho, despite your philosphy about breeding, what's most important is the health and welfare of the parents and the offspring and that you, as a new furbaby parent are happy with your purchase.
my puppy is nearly 5 months now, and his ears are still floppy. i've actually done nothing to try to make them stand. i figure they'll stand if they're suppose to, and they don't, then they won't. it makes no difference to me. he's my spoiled, adorable little baby either way. |
