Breeding dogs with poor joints, teeth, eyes, etc is poor breeding. I think we need to focuse on finding responsable breeders who don't focuse on "tea cups" and who aren't puppy mills (I come from a Puppy Mill State).
I am very happy you found a companion dog in your price range. You saw the parents, and you were still happy with your selection, so don't let your friend or anyone else let get down.  |
Bad breeding is breeding poor pet quality Yorkies and the results are far from the standard. I realize that isn't important to everyone but it's kind of sad when someone gets a Yorkie that doesn't look like the breed. It isn't just about health though that is the priority. Most of the breeders on this board agree and try to breed to the standard.
A 9lb. Yorkie with floppy ears probably wasn't a good example to breed but it happened. Love the puppy and don't look back.
