For everyone else, the usda and AKC use this specific kennel and photos of their operation as a model to help close the gap between breeder and show dog owners who breed. They even have a bedroom set up in the nursery with the pregnant dogs and puppies where they sleep and spend most of their time.. It's their lifestyle and it makes them feel blessed. I'm all good with that! |
Oh, you are welcome. I try to be nice but words are occasionally so dry and unemotional at times, you never know when a post is coming across as mean or frankly rude to another person, particularly if there are differing opinions.
Just a question about the kennel you are hoping to use again. Are the little Yorkie breeding dogs and retired-from-breeding Yorkies living their lives for the most part in kennels, cages, runs with the occasional outings or are they living their lives housepets in the home living with the family as a vital part of it, surrounded by love and fulfillment every day? How a breeder treats the little Yorkies working for them tells you a lot about how they value their dogs and what their priorities are for their trusting dogs.
