Belle Noir...you're not being a breed snob or the like, you have a trained eye and critically evaluate dogs the way a good breeder, handler, judge would and should.
Just for clarification for everyone, I'm not supporting Mugglestons breeding just showing them as reference they bred down an oversized litter they got from a breeder I know to produce their stock-well they got "breeding stock" from many different kennels and lines.
Personally I don't think even horses should be kept strictly outside, we horse barns for a reason.
Anyone familiar with a range of terriers knows these dogs especially do not belong outside, physically unequipt and behaviorally very dependant on human contact.
Nancy us exactly correct hitting can result in two undesirable results a fearful unsocial dog or a fear aggressive dog...while an abused yorkie can be handled often even if a fear biter, a fear aggressive pit faces a death sentence even if put in private nokill rescue...both might be rehabilitatable but reality shoes us only one actually gets the chance. |
