Very few of the activities being suggested here are activities that only a breeder or the puppies litter mates or mother can do. A 6 week old is mentioned. We are not talking about 6 weeks as we all agree 6 weeks is too young.
The credentials and methods of people claiming phds etc is smoke to blow up peoples asses that are impressed by these things not the validity of the studies / claims. It is a sales pitch and people seem to be using it without a critical eye. |
I once had an uncle that frowned upon more educated people than he.....he was entrenched in his own delusions he mistook for reality...however, it was simply his own reality, based on his own opinions that he so treasured.
I remain "joyous" with the researched and documented evidence of much more experienced and educated people than I. I have only been involved with the in depth study, involvement with, working and breeding Yorkies since ......lets see......1975.....maybe 1976. I certainly would not presume to have more experience or knowledge in this area than any of the scientists, vets, behavorists, animal psychologists, trainers, and of course, other ethical, respected, responsible breeders that over the years, have experienced first hand, as I have also, the benefits of Yorkie pups remaining with their mothers until 12-14 weeks. I have no idea of YOUR qualifications and expertise, just an little insight to your opinion, which DOES fly in the face of what many well known, well respected entities have published. Your own "joyous", vociferous articulations, may indeed have you personally steadfastly rigid in your conviction that Yorkies suffer no deprivation being separated from maternal tutelage and corrections received up until 14 weeks of age, however I am more apt to follow research and studies documented by much more qualified academe.
