I just wish that every owner of a cute little dog would spend just 10 min in an animal shelter & look into the eyes of all of those dogs that NEED homes whom most of witch will die needlessly & senselessly because so many people feel they want/need to breed their dog ( just once) to create more dogs for whatever reason, non of witch is good enough when LIVES are being snuffed out because of over population. I just can't wrap my brain around that, because to me when people purchase a mixed breed they are saying they just could care less that a shelter dog will die. Really IMHO all dogs are the same on the inside, they ALL just want to be LOVED & to LOVE YOU. Don't get me wrong here because I have loved very much each Yorkie I have owned but honestly some of the best dogs I have had the privilege of sharing my life with have come out of High Kill shelters. I honestly think that people that PURCHASE mixed breed dogs from BYB's, Greaders & OOOPs litters are out of their minds. Why ? when you can go to your local shelters or PetFinder & find the same mixed breeds rite there & best of all SAVE A LIFE ! I'm really not trying to offend anyone, but I think as human beings we need to regroup & get our priorities readjusted. If more people would adopt instead of shop for these mixed breeds, then people would think twice before breeding their cute little mixes. I know there will be people saying nonsesne about creating new breeds but come on now, do we really need any more breeds of dogs ? |
Absolutely perfectly said!! I wish everyone would take 20 minutes today and just go online to RescueMe Yorkies, and look at the number of purebred Yorkies that are acutually in shelters. It would break your heart. Then just randomly pick any other purebred breed and look at how many are in shelters across the US. Its mind boggling. I'm starting to beleive that especially in the toy breeds, people start dumping them when the dogs aren't puppies anymore and actually require work and love..the novelty wears off and they want a different toy to play with. I'm not picking on the OP, but I agree 100% by putting a name like White Yorkie on that cute little pup, you are creating a terrible situation. The last thing this world needs is to create buzz for a "new" mutt, or so called designer breed. And really, with 3 different breeds of dogs involved, all you have is an extremely cute mutt, with zero claim to the name Yorkie...Its not even 1/2 Yorkie. Ironmike was right when he said that having any white in a Yorkie is one of the first things reputable breeders and judges look for in Yorkies. There isn't supposed to be any white. I wasn't even sure if my puppy was really a Yorkie, but she is..lol..just not a well bred one by Yorkie standards...but she's cute as can be and loving and everything else I could ask for in a little puppy.
