No, showing does make your most reputable breeder's. The ones who do breed for HEALTH above everything, as well as structure, type, movement and let's not forget temperment! If they do not have a wonderful tmeperment then one could not live with them very easily.... And yes, when I started out showing buying my first yorkie I will have to say I had NO CLUE! As the first couple of years went by I thought I knew coat texture and structure. NOT!
Now 18 years down the road I still can learn. Do I know more than if I had just been a BYB.... NOT! I would of never learned the important things I do know now. Trust me it takes hard work and alot of time to obtain pedigree's with alot of red in them. I am saying your best breeder's have worked hard and long enough to be able to obtain everything that is needed in a well rounded yorkie! Heck I know showbreeder's with plenty of Champions in the pedigree who I would not buy from as I KNOW the health issue's that go with that pedigree of redness. Now can a NON RED pedigree tell the tale of health and what the yorkies looked like 3,4 and 5 generations ago? I do not think so... If I wonder where a trait came from I can pin point it and figure out how to breed for it or away from it. So you see a very red pedigree tells tales.
And a reputable breeder knows how to breed on them properly. I hope this now has made this a tad more clear for those who do not understand. As for those who do I sure it had already.  |
I meant of course I know more now than if I had just stayed a BYB..
Darn not enough coffee this morning!
