This sounds wonderful! I am a high school resource room teacher, and some of my students take Biology. I need to have an understanding of their subjects to be able to break the material down and help them to understand it, too. I have some understanding of Genetics and loved learning about it when i was younger, but i have learned so much on this thread. I thank you so much for your generous time and help with all of this. I find this all so fascinating, and when school winds down after Friday, I am going to read the links you have so graciously provided. I have been upset for a long time about the indiscriminate breeding of a breed I have loved since I was a child. All of the health issues terrify me, and until I found YorkieTalk, I rarely saw Yorkies who looked like the image of a Yorkie that I envision in my mind. I am positive I would love any dog of mine no matter if it resembled that image or not, but I so love the temperament and looks of this truly beautiful, special breed. I have a much greater understanding than I did four years ago when I joined YT of why maintaining a standard is so important and all that breeders who are breeding to better the breed are doing. I am so grateful to my breeder for her commitment to this breed, the pups she raises, and for entrusting me with our precious little girl. It is so very evident when you see Katie's temperament, structure, and vigor the devotion her breeder has for bringing these precious lives into the world. This is the true reason to breed and what distinguishes the true fanciers and ones devoted to the health and welfare of this breed from the BYBs and other people breeding for profit.
Thank you again for your commitment to YT and for helping to enlighten us on genetics. I hope you have a Happy Father's Day.
