Interesting thread. Am I to understand that it is wrong to be of the "opinion" that the deliberate breeding for tiny Yorkies is not acceptable on YT anymore? I see more and more posts by people who object to those "trouble makers" who "stir the pot" by posting their adverse "opinions" about such breeders.
I realize this thread is old and has been seemingly reactivated by someone but since there are some well respected breeders here I wonder what your opinion is on the subject. I am not a breeder but I am adamint in my opposition of those who risk the health and welfare of any breed by irresponsible breeding practices. Yet, the trend seems to be more and more toward turning a blind eye to this type of thing. Maybe because of the influx of pet owners who prefer the tiny pocketbook pets?
I would never come against the owner of such a dog but when people start naming such breeders is it wrong to state the facts about bad breeding practices? Is an adverse "opinion" wrong to give? Is it a responsibility to warn people of the consequences of such breeding? Or is it more acceptable just to say nothing? Is it now more PC to accept the current trend to buy from those who exploit the breed for profit? |
