The really fortunate thing is, this forum has millions of people referring to it on a daily basis, and sooooooooo much of the information is read, incorporated, and appreciated by millions of people all over the world. There are people learning from this very post! If even one immature female puppy can be saved from a breeding that should have never taken place, it is worth its weight in gold! People with unaltered dogs MUST assume responsibility to protect that female from being impregnated by any dog. Dog pounds are overflowing with unwanted dogs, from unwanted pregnancies or pregnancies that were allowed to go to term, puppies of questionable health issues sold to unsuspecting owners, that then have to deal with the expense of trying to keep that puppy healthy or even alive. I have absolutely no problem trying to educate people that have no idea what they are doing to the breed or the babies they are bringing willy-nillie, into the world. They are instrumental is destroying this noble breed, Yorkshire Terrier, and it breaks a responsible breeder's heart to see what is happening. |
